West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce says they're capable of a top ten finish this season.
Allardyce also believes they can increase their scoring power with the addition of another striker.
He said: "If we score a few more goals than last season, we can finish top 10. If we can do the same as we did last season defensively then 50 goals will be enough for us.
"We scored 40 last year and 46 the year before so if we hit the 50-goal mark that will be enough to take us into the top 10 or better."
Allardyce admitted he has given up looking for a forward in England and is concentrating on the European market for a replacement for Andy Carroll.
He added: "The price, wages, the type of player - all of those have been stumbling blocks when looking in this country. We are still waiting for another front-line player who could score a few goals.
"That has been very difficult to acquire because of the injury to Andy Carroll but we are still pursuing that avenue as quickly as we possibly can."
