West Ham United are reportedly keen on Kostas Mitroglou.
According to the Daily Mail, West Ham United are showing an interest in bringing Marseille striker Kostas Mitroglou to the club in January.
The Hammers have seen Marko Arnautrovic star in the final third this season, but with Javier Hernandez struggling as a lone striker, another centre forward may be on Manuel Pellegrini’s radar in January.
West Ham have been linked with a couple of players for January already, and now another name can be added to the list in Marseille striker Mitroglou.
The 30-year-old is allegedly a loan target for West Ham, but Marseille would be willing to let him go on a permanent basis at the end of the season.
Mitroglou may be remembered for an ill-fated spell at Fulham, as he joined the Cottagers from Olympiakos in 2014, but played just three games as he was found out of shape and off the pace in Fulham’s relegation campaign.
The Greek hitman moved on to Benfica, where he hit top form again with 52 goals in 86 outings, and headed to France with Marseille in 2017, scoring 13 goals in all competitions last term.
A burly target man, Mitroglou has scored six times in all competitions already this season, and West Ham may now look to hand him a shock return to London when the transfer window re-opens.
