The Hammers' new head coach, who takes charge of his first home game against Fulham tonight, is expected to use winger Mohammed Kudus in a central role after Niclas Fullkrug last week joined Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen in the treatment room.

Danny Ings, 32, is the only recognised No. 9 available - and he has not played a full Premier League game for nine months.
