According to a report from German newspaper Kicker West Ham is interested in Werder Bremen midfielder Zlatko Junuzovic.

The playmaker will be heading to the forthcoming European Championships this summer with Austria, and has made a huge impact in the Bundesliga since arriving at Bremen in 2012 from Austria Wien.

It is understood that the 28-year-old has recently been playing on the left side of the pitch in a wide formation and has since fallen out with his manager after stressing that his capabilities are better utilised from a central role.

Junuzovic has scored 15 goals in 115 appearances for Bremen and seven goals in 45 for his national side. West Ham can offer Europa League football next year which could sway a decision to the Premier League. Southampton are also said to be tracking him. West Ham played Werder Bremen in a pre-season friendly last August losing 2-1 in the last ever friendly at the Boleyn Ground.
