Virals: West Ham are ‘keeping a close eye’ on Aleksandar Mitrovic

West Ham are believed to be keeping a close eye on Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic ahead of the summer transfer window. 

David Moyes will almost certainly delve into the market for a frontman at the end of the season and is said to be ‘convinced’ the out of favour Serbian has plenty to offer in the Premier League.

That’s according to Turkish football journalist Ekrem Konur, as reported in the Daily Mail and cited by West Ham Fan Zone on Twitter. 

This season Mitrovic has struggled to make an impact in a relegated Fulham side, manager Scott Parker opting to utilise Josh Maja and Bobby Decordova-Reid. 

The 26-year-old has managed four goals and registered four assists in 31 appearances across all competitions.

Signing Mitrovic would be thwarted with risk for the Hammers give the Serbian’s checkered top-flight record. 

Putting an 11-goal 2018/19 campaign to one side, the £16.2million valued striker has just 24 goals in 104 Premier League outings. 

That’s not to say there isn’t a worthy player in there. 

Having scored 41 goals in just 64 caps for Serbia – the powerful ace possesses all the attributes needed to be an elite level goalscorer.
