West Ham are reportedly interested in signing attacker Edin Dzeko from Italian club Roma.

According to Calciomercato, the Hammers are keen on landing the 32-year-old alongside Everton and Crystal Palace.

It is understood that the centre-forward has his heart set on a return to England and that he could be available for just £13million in the summer.

Dzeko would be an incredible bargain for any team in the Premier League at that price and West Ham fans should be delirious if they do manage to pull off a deal for him.

He may be a 30-plus aged striker now, but he’s showed no signs of slowing down recently and would walk into Manuel Pellegrini’s XI.

The target man has 12 goals and seven assists in 28 Roma games this season, which has included five strikes in the Champions League so far.

Dzeko is a proven attacker that would be excellent for West Ham and surely rival any of the club’s bargains in recent times.

The Hammers did sign playmaker Manuel Lanzini for just £9million (Guardian) back in 2016 and that looks a snip considering the current prices of transfers.

Lanzini is a technically gifted attacking midfiedler that is a real favourite at the London Stadium and he would surely strike up a great understanding if the club signed Dzeko.
