West Ham’s never-ending search for a striker has come full circle as they appear to be ready to revisit a move for Mario Mandzukic in the summer.
After being told he wasn’t for sale last summer and settling for his incompetent team-mate Simone Zaza, the Hammers have renewed belief that they can land the 30-year-old this time around.
Mandzukic has been a regular for Juventus this season, starting 21 Serie A games but has found the net just five times and has been out-performed by his team-mates.
The Croatian worked with Slaven Bilic during their time together when Bilic was the Croatian national team manager and he remains a big fan of the forward today.
According to the Turkish outlet Fotomac, Fenerbahce have met with Mandzukic’s agent Ivan Cvjetkovic in Zagreb, offering competition to West Ham for his signature.
The former Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid striker has been tight-lipped over his plans for next season but it would take a very lucrative offer to tempt him to east London.
