West Ham have shown interest in signing free agent Jamie Vardy as they aim to strengthen their attack before the upcoming Championship season. The 39-year-old, who previously played for Cremonese, is currently without a club after their relegation from Serie A last term. The London-based team is determined to return to the Premier League following their fall to the second division.
In their opening match of the 2026/27 season, West Ham secured a victory over Portsmouth in the Carabao Cup first round, with Taty Castellanos netting both goals. Manager Nuno Espírito Santo is keen on adding another striker to the squad as the Hammers prepare for their league opener against Burnley this Sunday. The team's attacking depth remains a concern, with Pablo yet to score for the club since his £21m January transfer from Gil Vicente.
Additionally, recent loan returnee Niclas Fullkrug has yet to be assigned a squad number. West Ham's key acquisition appears to be retaining Jarrod Bowen, though he may depart next summer for £15m if they do not secure promotion. Vardy, who scored seven goals in Serie A for Cremonese, is available on a free transfer after failing to secure safety in Italy.
He has trained with League One side Leicester City, but there were no plans for a return to his former club. Vardy has several options available to him, including potential moves to the MLS, as he assesses his next career steps.
