West Ham United have reportedly been offered Atletico Miner striker Lucas Pratto.

The Daily Mail is reporting that West Ham's strong South American contacts have been asked if the club wants to sign the 28-year-old Argentina international for £14million.

The Hammers are crying out for a new striker in January but are believed to be wanting a British player instead, having seen their recent move for Jonathan Calleri fail miserably.

Pratto has previously played in Europe with Italian club Genoa in 2011/12 and has been in Brazil with Mineiro since joining from Velez Sarsfield in 2015.

Scoring twice in four outings for Argentina in 2016, Pratto has tallied 41 goals in 101 outings for the Belo Horizonte outfit.
