West Ham have been handed a huge Josip Juranovic boost as report claims Celtic could sell Croatian World Cup star for just £5 million.

That’s according to a report from Spanish publication Fichajes who claim that Atletico Madrid want to challenge West Ham for the Celtic right-back.

And it is suggested that the Hoops could now ask for as little as €6 million (£5 million) for the Croatian World Cup star.

Hammers boss David Moyes has been strongly linked with a move to sign the 27-year-old Celtic star ahead of the January transfer window.

Signing a new right-back this winter will be really important for Moyes.

Ben Johnson and Vladimir Coufal have regressed badly this season. Meanwhile, Harrison Ashby has been heavily linked with a move to Newcastle United.

The good news is that Moyes could bring in a real upgrade on Johnson and Coufal in January…

West Ham could sign Josip Juranovic from Celtic for bargain fee

Fichajes are claiming that the 27-year-old Croatian international could be sold by Ange Postecoglou for just £5 million in January.

What an unbelievable deal that would be for the Hammers.

Initially, I thought that West Ham should have been aiming a lot higher than the Celtic defender.

He has totally proven me wrong out in Qatar with Croatia though. His performance against Brazil in the quarter-final last Friday was truly sensational.

Juranovic has been a really solid performer for Celtic this season as well.

The 27-year-old has bagged one goal and one assist in eight Scottish Premiership games for Celtic so far this season (Who Scored).

During those outings, he 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.

£5 million for Celtic star Josip Juranovic now sounds like really good value for the Hammers.

And if the Croatian really is available for that bargain fee, David Moyes must not hesitate to act.
