West Ham boss David Moyes will be desperate to bolster his ranks at the London Stadium.
In other news…David Moyes’ ‘dream signing’ confirms West Ham made a bid for him
The Scot can sign players from the Championship and below up until October 16th.
But we can bring free agents to the London Stadium at any time of course.
And with that in mind, the Hammers quite simply must attempt to sign Mario Mandzukic on a free.
Sure, strengthening central defence and central midfield should be Moyes’s priority.
But we are incredibly short up front. Especially considering the fact that Michail Antonio is incredibly injury prone and Sebastien Haller would struggle to play the lone striker role in our new found system.
And Mario Mandzukic would be an excellent addition for us.
The 89-capped Croatia international is a perennial winner. He has won nine league titles throughout his illustrious career to date.
At 34, Mandzukic is probably past his best. But he is more than good enough to do a job for us for one or two seasons.
The former Bayern Munich and Juventus forward can play anywhere along the front-line. And there are not many attackers who can match the Croatian’s record. He has scored 230 goals for club and country throughout his career.
Mandzukic has great experience. And he is an incredibly hard worker. Despite his advancing years, the 34-year-old is exactly the kind of player David Moyes likes.
The Croatian may well demand a large salary, but his availability on a free transfer makes signing him an absolute no-brainer for West Ham.
