West Ham are reportedly considering a move for Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic.
According to a report from talkSPORT today, the Hammers are looking to test Juventus’ resolve to keep the Croatian forward by moving in for him when the summer transfer window opens.
Slaven Bilic has been looking around the market for quality attacking options for some time now and it looks as though he’s certainly keen on bringing his compatriot to the London Stadium ahead of next season.
However if he is to pursue his interest in Mandzukic, he will need to fend off interest from his former team Besiktas, who are also looking to move in for him.
Mandzukic has fallen down the pecking order at Juventus due to the excellent form and partnership of Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala this season, leaving the 30-year-old as a substitute mainly.
Besiktas are claimed in the report to have made him their number one target.
