West Ham will start the new Premier League season with the aim of winning the title, according to David Sullivan.
The Hammers finished seventh last season, which represented the club's highest finish and best points tally in the Premier League era.
But Slaven Bilic's side are determined to continue to build on such success and the club's co-chairman has set his sights on replicating Leicester, who were crowned champions for the first time in their 132-year history last term.
"We all saw what Leicester did last season and we start the campaign with the aim of winning the Premier League," Sullivan told the club's official website.
"Anyone who says it can't be done only has to look at what Leicester achieved and it can be done.
"It is unlikely but that has to be our aim, along with the FA Cup and Capital One Cup.
"We have three trophies and we want to win all of them. We are also in Europe and we want to do well in that as well," Sullivan insisted.
West Ham have already strengthened significantly in the transfer market this summer with Havard Nordtveit and Sofiane Feghouli set to arrive from Borussia Monchengladbach and Valencia.
But Sullivan has echoed the sentiments of his manager and declared that the acquisition of a centre forward is key to the club's project ahead of their move to the Olympic Stadium.
"We are all excited about our big move into the new Stadium. The facilities will be so much better and I hope the atmosphere will be just as good there.
"Once we sign a top striker I will feel a lot better and that is the main position we need.
"Our top goalscorer last season scored 12 goals and if someone had scored 20 we would have been in a different position," he insisted.
