West Ham are reportedly keen on signing Spartak Moscow star Jordan Larsson who is the son of Celtic legend Henrik.
The 23-year-old striker has been in excellent form in the Russian Premier League this season and has attracted attention from across Europe.
West Ham are in desperate need of a striker this summer with injury prone Michail Antonio their only recognised frontman.
Spartak signed Larsson from Swedish side Norrkoping for £3.5million in August 2019.
The Sweden international has bagged 12 goals for Spartak in 23 Russian Prem matches so far this season. He was also voted the club’s player of the month for March. Jordan grew up in football circles with dad Henrik playing for Celtic, Barcelona and Manchester United since he was born in 1997. And in December, he revealed he would love to follow in his dad’s footsteps and play for the Bhoys in Green.
While his father played for Barcelona between 2004 and 2006, Larsson played for the team’s La Masia academy. He began his senior career at Högaborg in the Swedish Football Division 2, the fourth level of the sport in the country. He signed a four-year deal for the city’s main club Helsingborgs IF, the same transfer that his father had made 22 years prior.
