West Ham United are again being linked with Inter Milan’s Ivan Perisic.
According to FC Inter News, West Ham United have made a move for Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic in the hope of bringing him to East London.
Perisic, 30, has been with Inter since 2015, but as one of the highest earners at the San Siro, he may well be moved on this summer.
The winger has allegedly made it clear that he won’t be moving to China with either Jiangsu Suning or Shanghai Shenhua, but he is interested in heading to the Premier League.
West Ham are allegedly keen, and have made the most recent enquiry about a move for the winger, with their move coming last Thursday according to these reports.
Perisic would be viewed as an exciting addition at West Ham, and his record of nine goals and eight assists last season showed he can still make a huge impact at 30.
However, his age will be a concern to many. West Ham would have to fork out a decent transfer fee and considerable wages for Perisic, when he may only have two or three years of top quality left.
West Ham need to get away from those kind of moves, as they’ve poured decent funds into signing players 28 or over in recent years, with limited results.
Perisic – as great of a player as he is – would be a return to that approach, and whilst he would bring pace, drive, goals and assists to the West Ham side, they must be wary of spending huge money on a player in his 30’s.
