According to a report from the Sunday Mirror (Sunday, June 14th, page 70), West Ham are eyeing up a £1.5 million bid for Serbian teenage midfielder Milos Pantovic.

The 17-year-old Red Star Belgrade midfielder, who can also play on either wing, is currently on loan with FK Graficar Beograd.
Pantovic is highly rated in his homeland, and he has really impressed this term.
The teenager has scored one goal in 12 appearances for Graficar (Transfermarkt).
Hammers boss David Moyes will undoubtedly be keen to bolster his midfield ranks at the London Stadium this summer.
Bringing Pantovic to West Ham would obviously be quite a risk, however. And it would clearly be a signing made with one eye on the future rather than for the here and now.
The young Serb has no experience of English football. And the Premier league might just prove to be a huge jump up for him.
For just £1.5 million, however, signing Pantovic could be well worth the risk for West Ham.
He still has everything left to prove in the game.
But the 17-year-old certainly fits into the category of signings that David Moyes wants to make. He is young, hungry and very talented. And who knows? Pantovic might just go on to become a star in the future.
