Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou is open to allowing West Ham target Josip Juranovic to leave Parkhead in the January transfer window.
That’s according to a report from The Scottish Sun who claim that Celtic could be prepared to sell the Croatian World Cup star for £10 million or more, having signed him for just £2 million in the summer of 2021.
Right-back is clearly an area where Moyes needs to improve upon, if he is to guide his West Ham team to any kind of success over the next few years.
And it seems as though the East London outfit may be handed the chance to address what is a real weak spot at the London Stadium in January…
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou open to allowing Josip Juranovic to leave
The Scottish Sun reckon that Celtic could sell the 27-year-old this winter, but for no less than £10 million.
The 23-capped Croatian international is currently starring for his country at the World Cup out in Qatar.
Celtic fansite 67 Hail Hail have described Juranovic as ‘brilliant’.
I think the Hoops ace would be a very solid addition for West Ham, albeit not a spectacular one.
Juranovic has bagged one goal and one assist in eight Scottish Premiership games for Celtic so far this season (Who Scored).
During those outings, the 27-year-old has averaged 1.1 tackles, 0.7 interceptions and one clearance per game (Who Scored).
The Croatian is a very solid operator, and he has mightily impressive pace as well, but I can’t help but feel that Moyes should be setting his sights a lot higher than the Celtic man.
The West Ham manager should be targeting young, powerful and explosive full-backs in order to align his team more to the modern day.
Juranovic would be a an upgrade on Coufal, there’s no doubting that. I just feel that the Hammers could be a tad more ambitious.
Full-backs have such an important role to play in the modern game, and I feel as though Moyes needs to get with the times a bit more when it comes to the players he is supposedly targeting to play in those specific roles.
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou may well be open to allowing Josip Juranovic to leave Parkhead in January if a bid of £10 million or more comes in, but I think West Ham should be far more ambitious this winter.
