West Ham are once again being linked with a sensational move for Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic.

The Hammers have been credited with an interest in the 23-year-old previously and could look to reignite their admiration as soon as January. 

That’s according to a report from Eurosport and RM Only on Twitter, claiming that the Irons remain keen on the Serbia international. 

The 17 times capped ace is tipped to ‘begin the search for a new club’ as playing time at the La Liga giants remains hard to come by. 

So far this season Jovic, who was signed for £52.4million (Sky Sports), has failed to score in four league outings – albeit all from the bench and only amassing 31 minutes of playing time. 

Last term the man likened to Luis Suarez and hailed a ‘classic goal-getter’ by Mladen Krstajic scored four times and provided one assist whilst back on loan at former club Eintracht Frankfurt.

Similarly to what happened when Sebastien Haller left Frankfurt, unfortunately, Jovic has endured a torrid time since departing Germany. 

Capable of reaching big numbers in terms of goal involvements, at 23 there remains plenty of time to get back on track for the Serbian. 

Valued at £18million and under contract until 2025 at the Bernabeu (Transfermarkt), the deal would have likely have to see Real make a huge loss financially in order to make it a worthwhile venture for the Irons. 

In need of an additional forward and with Europa League pedigree to boot, at the right price, this is certainly a player well worth attempting to rescue. 

Should West Ham Sign Luka Jovic?

Yes
