And the mystery striker is.......
Well I think we all knew who it was really didn't we?
Skysports C&P.
Alan Pardew has confirmed that West Ham will be bidding for Liverpool's Milan Baros.
Baros' future at Anfield looks to be short, with the player being left out of Liverpool's European ties so far, amidst suggestions that the club do not want to cup tie him and reduce his value.
The Czech Republic international has never replicated his international form at Liverpool, and Rafa Benitez is believed to be open to his sale.
Although there are likely to be a whole host of clubs in for the young marksman, Pardew has confirmed that West Ham will make a move.
"I'm not going to talk directly about Milan because he's still under contract," Pardew told Sky Sports News.
"But we are after a striker and if someone of his quality is available I am going to go for him."
Liverpool are set to complete the signing of Peter Crouch - pushing Baros even further down the pecking order.
When asked if Baros could be sold, Benitez told Sky Sports News: "Yes, it is a possibility.
"He is a player that is important for us - but we know the market sometimes changes.
"We have more options now in attack and it depends on the number of teams we would play."

If we get Baros and hold on to young Mikolander, or whatever his name is, that'd be three Czechs in our squad. Maybe Tomas could learn English from the other two. ;-)
I'm not too excited about Baros. He's OK, but you don't really get value for money. He has talent but seems to be a bit ineffective.
