According to Calciomercato, West Ham and Borussia Dortmund are interested in signing Fiorentina powerhouse Dusan Vlahovic.
The 21-year-old is doing well for his age in Serie A this season, having netted nine goals in 24 appearances – he also has one assist.
Vlahovic is also a Serbia international, earning four caps for his country and scoring one goal in those outings.
Calciomercato don’t offer much more information about West Ham’s interest, although they do state that the striker’s contract expires in 2023.
It feels as if the 6′ 2″ Serbian is beginning to fulfil his potential, having been dubbed as a wonderkid during his teenage years.
Back in 2016, The Sun revealed that Arsenal and Manchester City were keeping tabs on Vlahovic, such was the vast promise he was displaying.
It was also mentioned in their article that Juventus scouts branded the striker as the next Zlatan Ibrahimović.
To be likened to the iconic Swede, who has an astonishing 483 career goals in 782 games, is high praise indeed.
West Ham are definitely in need of a new frontman.
The Hammers sold Sebastien Haller to Ajax in January without finding a replacement.
David Moyes has Michail Antonio – who is fairly injury prone – as his only option at centre-forward, which is slightly worrying, as good as the Englishman is.
