West Ham hasn’t given up hope of signing Seb Haller’s Eintracht Frankfurt strike partner Luka Jovic on loan from Real Madrid this summer.
The Spanish club are looking to conduct a clear out over the next three or four weeks and are though ready to allow Jovic to move on loan or permanently.
Napoli were reportedly interested but have since ruled themselves out of the running for a player who – with Haller – formed a deadly partnership in the Bundesliga.
The Irons had the chance of doing a loan deal for the striker in January but instead moved in on the highly successful Jarrod Bowen and Tomas Soucek.
The Hammers have to be interested in making a move for the player on a loan arrangement for the season with an option to buy next year when hopefully finances have improved word wide.
Hopes of doing a deal remain very much alive as a result and it’s inevitable that some of the new arrivals will be loans this summer – let’s hope the 22 year is among them
Perfect deal for us. Would be great in our team and find his confidence again! Him and Haller upfront with Bowen and Antonio on the wings would overwhelm teams. With Dec and Soucek holding. Just need him on loan and 2 fullbacks and we’ll be ready for the season. Let go of the high earning fringe players like anderson, wiltshire, balbuena and we will have a strong team.
We want to loan a Jovic from Juventus? Well that’s not going to happen since he plays for Real Madrid…
Would be nice but can’t see it happening!
