West Ham supporters on Twitter have reacted with mixed feeling that they could potentially sign Edin Dzeko as Marko Arnautovic’s replacement this month.

The Daily Star claims that the Hammers are looking at a list of strikers to sign in case star man Arnautovic opts to force a big-money move to Chinese Super League side Shanghai SIPG.

It is said that Roma striker Dzeko, who worked under Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City, is set to be offloaded by the Serie A club as east London could potentially be his next destination.

According to transfermarkt, 32-year-old Dzeko has amassed an impressive 253 career goals for clubs in England, Italy, Germany and the Czech Republic.

The feeling amongst the West Ham faithful on Twitter about the Dzeko rumours was a mixed one, with one fan stating that he would be a ‘short-term’ option, but another ‘would love to see’ him at the club.
