West Ham have had an enquiry for Fulham hitman Aleksandar Mitrovic rejected by the Cottagers, according to a report from 90Min.
The Hammers are very light up front.
They signed Sebastien Haller from Eintracht Frankfurt for around £45 million in the summer (BBC).
The Frenchman has struggled to adapt to English football, however, and Albian Ajeti is offering little in the form of support or competition.
So the addition of a proven goalscorer in January is much needed for West Ham.
And it seems as though the east London outfit wanted to bring Fulham front-man Aleksandar Mitrovic to the club.
90Min claims that the Hammers’ enquiry for the 55-capped Serbia international was rejected outright by the west London outfit, however.
The 25-year-old would be a decent signing for West Ham, and they really should keep trying to tempt Fulham into selling.
Mitrovic has scored 18 goals in 25 Championship appearances for the Cottagers this term. And he really would provide strong competition for Haller at the London Stadium.
The Serbian ace has proven over a prolonged period of time that he has what it takes to score goals on a consistent basis.
And despite reportedly failing with their initial enquiry, West Ham should not give up on Mitrovic.
