Andrej Kramaric could be heading back to the Premier League this summer, with Everton and West Ham United reportedly keen on his services.

It isn’t a secret that both Everton and West Ham United are in need of some attacking muscle and firepower as they prepare for the new Premier League campaign.

Well, Tribal Football have claimed that both Everton and West Ham are keen on Hoffenheim striker Andrej Kramaric, who previously played for Leicester City.

Added with that, Italian outlet TMW also claims that the German club are willing to sell their Player of the Year this summer, with the powerful forward enjoying a successful time in front of goal last time out by scoring 16 league goals in Germany’s top-flight.

The 28-year-old isn’t the answer both Everton or West Ham are looking for in terms of putting the ball into the back of the net on a regular basis, and his time at Leicester City should serve as a warning.

During the Foxes’ quite remarkable 2016 Premier League title win, Kramaric only scored four goals in 20 league matches, as he also dropped down to the Under-23’s at one stage during his struggles at the King Power.

The likes of Maxi Gomez and Callum Wilson have been touted for moves to the London Stadium, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Hammers supporters would prefer either of them over Kramaric.

The Mirror (27 June, page 65) recently claimed that they hope to lure Bournemouth’s hitman away from Dean Court this summer by offering him a substantial pay rise.

Added with that, Tuttomercatoweb have also claimed that Everton are keen on Juventus’ highly-rated forward Moise Kean, and just like Wilson for West Ham, the Italian is a better option for the Toffees than Kramaric.

If both teams are not going to push for an experienced goalscorer in England’s top-flight then given the fees touted around for players, they would better off pushing for highly-rated talents such as Kean, who is thriving in Turin.

Either way, there are some big decisions to be made by the clubs and if they make the right choice then it may just result in seriously goods rewards.
