West Ham United have apparently just made an enquiry for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport (print edition July 20th, page 3), West Ham are interested in signing Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus in the summer transfer window, although we could face competition from Aston Villa for his signature.

Hammers boss David Moyes definitely needs to sign a new striker this summer in my opinion.
Michail Antonio could be on his way out of the club, and the same can be said for Gianluca Scamacca and Danny Ings.
And it seems as though Moyes is setting his sights on a striker who has experienced real problems over the past 18 months or so, in spite of his incredible quality…
Shock Dusan Vlahovic claim emerges as West Ham boss David Moyes chases big striker signing
Gazzetta dello Sport reckon that the Hammers are interested in signing the €80 million (£69 million) rated striker this summer.
Let’s get real here though, I just can’t see this one happening.
And not just because of how much money Juventus are demanding for his signature either.
Vlahovic has been really poor for Juve since moving to Turin from Fiorentina 18 months ago, bagging just 23 goals in 63 games to date for the Old Lady (Transfermarkt).
The Serbia undoubtedly possesses real talent and is a powerhouse of a centre-forward when he’s on form.
However, he has really struggled over the last year or so, and is clearly very low on confidence. This would be a risk not worth taking for the Hammers in my opinion.
Let’s face it though – I highly doubt West Ham are even in for Dusan Vlahovic in the first place.
