Despite his difficulties this season, Norway international Strand Larsen is the player that officials at the London Stadium have focused on.
According to The Guardian , bottom-placed Wolves are demanding up to £40 million for the 25-year-old.
They have made adjustments in their squad to accommodate him.
However, it remains uncertain whether they are ready to meet the financial requirements.
Strand Larsen's value soared when he netted 14 Premier League goals while on loan at Molineux last season.
However, his performance, along with that of his teammates, has significantly declined since he made his permanent move in the summer for £25.5 million.
Wolves have secured only two points from 18 games, putting them on track for the lowest Premier League total in history.
Strand Larsen hasn't been much help, with two of his three goals in all competitions coming from the Carabao Cup.
West Ham is five points away from safety and has a worse goal difference than 17th-place Nottingham Forest.
Coventry forwards Ellis Simms and Haji Wright are believed to be on the Hammers' radar, along with Viktoria Plzen striker Rafiu Durosinmi.
However, Nuno is reportedly inclined toward acquiring a striker with a proven record in the English top flight.
Defensive reinforcements could also arrive in East London this winter, although Nathan Ake has allegedly declined the opportunity to join on loan.
Speedster Adama Traore is another name on West Ham's transfer wish list, having previously played under Nuno at Wolves.
