It won’t surprise you to learn that, once again, West Ham’s top summer priority is finding a new striker to lead the line next season.
One of the names Slaven Bilic is reportedly targeting is Juventus’ Mario Mandzukic, a player he managed during his time as boss of the Croatian national team.
West Ham tried and failed with a bid for him last summer but will revisit a deal at the end of the season, however, they face competition from Turkish giants Galatasaray according to Turkish Futbol.
Galatasaray manager Igor Tudor has confirmed his side are interested in signing Mandzukic in the summer in an interview with Fotospor:
Who wouldn’t want Mandzukic? He is a fantastic striker and a great team player. Of course Id like to see Mandzukic here, who wouldn’t want him in their team.
The Hammers will see Jonathan Calleri leave the club in the summer, with possibly both Enner Valencia and Diafra Sakho following suit, leaving them with just Andy Carroll as club’s out-and-out striker option.
