West Ham United are preparing an opening bid for Jørgen Strand Larsen as they fight relegation.
Manager Nuno Espírito Santo wants attacking reinforcements in January.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are believed to value the striker at around £40m.
Strand Larsen has scored three league goals this season for the bottom-placed club.
He impressed after joining Wolves from Celta Vigo in 2024, scoring 14 goals last season.
That form previously attracted interest from Newcastle United.
West Ham sit 18th and see a new striker as vital to survival.
Their current forward options are limited, with makeshift solutions used in recent matches.
The club have also explored other targets but favour players with Premier League experience.
