West Ham United are reportedly looking to make three big-name signings this summer.

According to a report in the Telegraph, West Ham United are looking to make three marquee signings this summer.

Slaven Bilic’s side are lining up moves for Manchester City’s Yaya Toure and Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge.

But in this article we take a look at three other big name players West Ham could target, if they miss out on the high profile pair.

Dries Mertens

Napoli's Dries Mertens shoots

Mertens has already been tentatively linked with West Ham, with his Napoli future still uncertain.

The Belgian international has enjoyed a wonderful season in Serie A, but his contract is coming to an end.

And West Ham could take advantage of that uncertainty to make the attacker an offer.

Youri Tielemans

The Anderlecht man has been linked with a range of Europe’s top clubs, but West Ham could be a good club for the youngster to continue his progress at.

Tielemans would be guaranteed first team football, if he was to move to the London Stadium.

And if West Ham could bring the talented central-midfielder in, it would be a serious statement of intent.

Mario Mandzukic

Mandzukic’s future at Juventus appears to be uncertain, heading into the summer transfer window.

The Croatian has played fairly frequently for Juve this term, but rarely as their main striker.

And a move to England may be tempting for Mandzukic, if he was offered a chance by West Ham.
