West Ham United boss David Moyes is reportedly keen on signing the Newcastle United hitman.
Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic could prove to be a wonderful acquisition for West Ham.
The Hammers have endured a difficult Premier League campaign this season, and are still far from safe from the threat of relegation, with just five points separating them from 18th placed Southampton.
If they do manage to avoid the drop, this summer’s transfer window will surely be an extremely busy one for the east London outfit.
David Moyes will surely be looking to strengthen in every department, in an attempt to guide his side to a top 10 finish next term.
One particular area where West Ham need to improve is their forward department.
Marko Arnautovic’s brilliant recent form has papered over the cracks, and the signing of a top-class striker will surely feature highly on Moyes’ agenda this summer.
One striker who is believed to be a key target for the Hammers is Newcastle forward Aleksandar Mitrovic, who is currently on loan with Fulham.
ExWHUEmployee claimed that Moyes was in attendance at Craven Cottage last night to watch the Serbia international in action:
The 23-year-old has been in sensational form for the Cottagers, scoring eight goals in 11 outings thus far.
Despite his struggles at St James’ Park, Mitrovic could still become one of the very best strikers in the game, and his maverick playing style would surely endear him to the Hammers faithful.
The Serb is superb in the air, and could act as a wonderful focal point for West Ham’s attacking play.
After his fine form for Fulham, the Hammers will surely face competition for his signature, but they should do everything within their power to bring him to the London Stadium this summer.
