West Ham have been handed a huge Josip Juranovic boost with the news that the Celtic ace is holding out for a move to the Premier League.
That’s according to a report from the Daily Record who claim that Monza are pushing hard to sign the 27-year-old on loan with an option to buy him for £7 million.
It seems as though the Croatia international would prefer to move to the Premier League though.

The Scot desperately needs to add a top-class right-back to his ranks at West Ham before the winter window slams shut.
Vladimir Coufal and Ben Johnson have regressed badly, and Juranovic would be a huge upgrade on both of those players.
West Ham handed huge Josip Juranovic boost
According to the Daily Record, the Croatia International would prefer to move to the Premier League, rather than to Italian side Monza.
The 27-year-old would be a really strong addition for the Hammers, although I must say, I would be surprised if we managed to get him for just £7 million.
His performances for Croatia during the World Cup were truly sensational. Juranovic has been a really solid performer for Celtic this season as well.
The Croatian is a very solid operator, and he has mightily impressive pace as well.
His ability to get up and down the flank would take the Hammers play to a whole new level in my opinion.
And West Ham signing Josip Juranovic for only £7 million would be a major coup in my eyes.
