our last position is in many ways the hardest centre-forward antonio is something of a footballing unicorn a centre-forward who converted from being a right wing back whose excellent output will be hard to replicate a big physical forward like andrea belotti at torino who links and carries well could work while sevilla's rafamir offers an abrasive quality and good shot volume plus aerial presence but our pick would take west ham in a different direction mainz's jonathan burkhart is a more well-rounded forward burkhardt would offer a different kind of focal point to antonio with more running in behind and stretching of defenses vertically but that could actually suit west ham's other attacking players he's a nuisance on the counter too as his goal against armenia bielefeld showed this season chasing down a clearance and robbing a player before finishing smiley west ham need to evolve up front and burkhardt the third best under NUMBER_TOKEN in the bundesliga this season for xg per NUMBER_TOKEN would give them that edge if you like this video please consider subscribing to the channel the athletic is home to some of the world's best sports journalists including david ornstein daniel taylor ollie k amy lawrence and raphael honigstein there are journalists dedicated to each premier league team so every fan gets the coverage they deserve not just the big clubs and you can try it for free now for NUMBER_TOKEN days see the link in the description
