West Ham are reportedly interested in Spartak Moscow forward Jordan Larsson.
The 24-year-old Swede – sone of legendary striker Henrik – is wanted by AC Milan, Fiorentina and Napoli as well as previous interest from Borussia Dortmund.
Larsson has had spells in Holland and homeland Sweden before arriving in Russia and taking the top-flight by storm.
Now according to a report from Aftonbladet, there is serious interest in facilitating another European move.
The report claims that Spartak have ‘opened up to be able to sell’ the seven-times capped ace as soon as January.
So far this season Larsson has scored once in 14 appearances across all competitions.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Valued at £12.6million and under contract in Russia until 2023 (Transfermarkt), the mooted under £8.5million fee would be a relative bargain for the Hammers.
Irons’ boss David Moyes is expected to re-enter the market for a centre-forward in the winter to aid Michail Antonio’s cause.
Albeit the goal contributions from this season make for grim reading, the immensely versatile Swede netted 15 times in the top-flight last term – proving his prowess.
Possessing an array of attacking attributes, Larsson would offer another string to Moyes’ bow.
