West Ham have recently been linked with a move for Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic by the Sunday Mirror (1/11; page 61), via The Boot Room, and Hammers fans have been reacting in their droves.
The Serbian forward only arrived at the Bernabeu last summer in a big-money move from Eintracht Frankfurt worth £54m.
However, things haven’t quite gone to plan for the 22-year-old and it seems Zinedine Zidane could allow the forward to leave in the near future, having made just 31 appearances, scoring twice and supplying two assists for the Spanish giants.
Sensationally, the Irons are one of the first clubs to be linked with providing an escape for the Real Madrid striker in January, despite his reported £175,000-a-week wages, which would need to be dramatically cut should he arrive in east London.
Plenty of Hammers fans have had their say on the rumours, which if it were to materialise would undoubtedly be a huge deal for the club…

READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Despite not receiving a glowing recommendation initially from West Ham fans across the board, David Moyes would almost certainly be intrigued by the possibility of signing a striker from Real Madrid.
As many fans have pointed out, current Hammers striker Sebastien Haller played alongside Jovic in Frankfurt and the pair showed perhaps the best form of their careers alongside each other, form which both have struggled to replicate since going their separate ways.
Having seen Haller struggle to fill the void left by Michail Antonio on Saturday against Liverpool, Moyes will likely have striking reinforcements high on his agenda come January.
