West Ham United are preparing an opening bid for Jørgen Strand Larsen.
Manager Nuno Espírito Santo wants attacking reinforcements to boost survival hopes.
Wolverhampton Wanderers value the striker at around £40m.
Strand Larsen has scored three league goals this season for the bottom-placed side.
The 25-year-old impressed after joining Wolves from Celta Vigo in 2024.
He scored 14 goals last season and attracted interest from Newcastle United.
West Ham sit 18th and see a new striker as essential.
They are set to loan Niclas Füllkrug to AC Milan.
Nuno has also looked at Ellis Simms and Haji Wright.
A loan move for Nathan Aké was ruled out.
West Ham are also pushing to sign Adama Traoré from Fulham.
