West Ham turn to AC Milan striker Huntelaar

West Ham United are moving for AC Milan striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

The Sun says West Ham are turning to Huntelaar - after being snubbed by Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Hammers new owners David Sullivan and David Gold offered the Real Madrid hitman £100,000 a week to join but he has signed for Hamburg.

That puts Huntelaar, 26, top of the Hammers wishlist but Arsenal and Spurs are also in the hunt.

Hammers co-chairman Gold said: "He's a top player and its important to get a striker in before the window slams shut.

"We might have to pay between £70,000-£100,000 a week for a short loan period for the right person."
