West Ham United should move for veteran striker Mario Mandzukic as Juventus overhaul their ageing squad.
West Ham United are currently sweating over the future of last term’s top scorer Marko Arnautovic, as Manchester United’s interest continues to grow, according to Sky Sports.
However, Manuel Pellegrini is unlikely to rest on his laurels and chance his success with the current squad at the London Stadium, as he aims to get the Hammers playing attacking football once more, having been backed with record funds by the club owners according to BBC Sport.
The Chilean is said to be targeting four or five new additions this summer, with Lazio’s Brazilian speedster Felipe Anderson in negotiations to come to east London (Sky Sports). But he must clear up Arnautovic’s situation.
If the big Austrian is to rejoin Jose Mourinho at United, Pellegrini will need a quality replacement to fill the vital role of goal-scorer and linchpin up top.
Juventus are looking to cull their ageing squad this summer, with veteran striker Mario Mandzukic likely to make way for Chelsea’s Alvaro Morata (Evening Standard), and it could open the door for the Hammers to sign the Croatian international.
The 32-year-old would be a serious marquee signing for the new boss and possesses all the attributes to become a great success in the Premier League.
Having been resigned to doing a job on the left wing at his current club, the prospect of spearheading the attack at West Ham as the main man would be an appealing one for the Champions League winner.
