These 2 strikers would be perfect for West Ham in January

Mario Mandzukic

When it comes to experienced strikers, there aren’t many with more games under their belt than Mario Mandzukic.

The 30-year-old Juventus forward has played 430 times at club level in his career, and has netted a brilliant 186 goals in that time.

However, the returning Paulo Dybala could force the Croatian international out of Turin as, alongside record-signing Gonzalo Higuain, Mandzukic is unlikely to be first choice.

This was demonstrated in their 3-0 win over Bologna on Sunday, where Dybala and Higuain led the line and both scored to see off the lower-half side, restricting Mandzukic to a 17-minute substitute’s cameo.

Unsurprisingly, speculation has been growing regarding a potential move this month, with Premier League duo West Ham and Tottenham both reportedly keen on bringing the 30-year-old to London.

For the Hammers, this would represent a real coup if they can persuade Mandzukic to move to the London Stadium, and he’d certainly bring the goals to help move the East London side up the table.
