According to a report from The Mirror (November 1st, page 61), West Ham are interested in signing Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic in January. And some Hammers fans have taken to Twitter in reaction to the speculation.

West Ham boss David Moyes has been left short in the centre-forward department.
And reuniting Jovic with Sebastien Haller would be a quite sensational move from the Hammers. Albeit a rather unrealistic one.
Jovic earns £175k-a-week at the Santiago Bernabeu according to Sportekz. So he would obviously have to lower those demands if West Ham are to have any chance whatsoever of bringing him to the London Stadium.
The eight-capped Serbia international is a top class striker.
He has really struggled under Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid, however. The 22-year-old has registered just two goals and two assists in 31 games for the La Liga giants (Transfermarkt).
Perhaps West Ham could bring the best out of him by reuniting him with Haller. however.
In their last season at Eintracht Frankfurt, Jovic and Haller racked up a very impressive 47 goals and 19 assists between them in 89 combined appearances.
It does still seem to be a very far-fetched rumour, however.
And some West Ham fans don’t seem to be convinced…
Yeh….. I bet his mate Haller has told him it’s great fun at West ham.

That would be an interesting one. Who’s spot would he take in the squad?

He would work so well with Haller as they were partners at Frankfurt

😂😂 more than likely a loan & a last ditch attempt to get the best out of Haller
