Why would we not be interested in him? 6ft 3 tall, big lad, looks like a good target man, not slow but not lightning quick, done well at cardiff last season, only 23. Depending on the fee I'm sure we have had a look at him. Paul Trollope....did he sign him?

If this were to be true then we would have to be bringing in another more mobile, faster forward. It really would be a dangerous move to end up on September the 1st with no competition for Baldock.
That being said, perhaps Hughton is planning to primarily operate in a 4-4-1-1 with Groß playing in behind a Murray/Zohore type of striker? Even if that were to be the case, it still seems foolish to entertain the thought of not signing a proven first division goalscorer from somewhere in Europe before the season begins.

Far too big a gamble if we are only bringing in 1 striker.
They will all be a gamble. I still think we will sign 2 strikers. One traditional 9 and a number 10.
Saw a lot of Zohore and he fits perfectly for 1 up front. Good physical presence, touch and pace. He really improved as the season went on and getting in quick on him would be a smart move. If he sustains his improved form he will attract a lot of attention.
Zohore looks pacy and mobile in the videos I've just watched.

Fairly poor goal scoring return at a lower level than we are playing. Very underwhelming if true.

Look where this story has come from people.
When Drogba was Zohore's age he'd scored a grand total of 12 goals in four seasons of lower league football (I reference Drogba as he happens to be a second cousin of Zohore).

Still far too risky as our only striker signing.
Zohore is a viable option and is similar to Abraham, who we were interested in... feel like there could be something in this? More or less 1 in 2 strike rate over 29 appearances last season with 5 assists, scored a couple in the U21 Euros as well. Doesn't seem a bad shout to me.

Zahore would only make sense if Hemed is off

Agreed. That would change things, and mean we'd still be signing another.

Could be effective with Stephane Sessegnon behind him...
