According to Fussball Transfers, VfB Stuttgart will be unable to resist a good offer for Sasa Kalajdzic, who is of interest to West Ham and Everton.

West Ham’s interest is mentioned by Fussball Transfers, while it was Tutto Juve who said Everton were keen, along with Newcastle.

Fussball Transfers add that the Premier League trio will face competition from Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and AS Roma.

By the looks of it, the 23-year-old is tailor-made for English football.

Kalajdzic has used his 6ft 6in frame and excellent positional awareness to score 14 goals in 29 appearances this season, a fine strike rate.

Fussball Transfers say that VfB Stuttgart aren’t in a position to turn down big-money offers – presumably due to the financial impacts of COVID-19.

Additionally, the chances of Kalajdzic being sold have increased after the club’s other valuable assets – Nicolás González and Silas Wamangituka – suffered long-term injuries.

No specific valuation is mentioned for the 3-cap Austria international.

However, with a contract running until 2023, Fussball Transfers claim that the Bundesliga outfit will be able to start the bidding fairly high.

In Everton’s case, they might survive without a new frontman with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison in their ranks.

However, Newcastle and West Ham are in need of new strikers to provide quality depth behind Callum Wilson and Michail Antonio.
