West Ham lining up move for Southampton playmaker Dusan Tadic

Premier League outfit West Ham have compiled a transfer wish-list for the upcoming window, which consists of Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic, according to The Sun.

The 28-year-old moved to the Premier League back in 2014 after decent spells at Groningen and Twente, and has set about making his name in English football with 16 goals in 121 games for the Saints, 14 of which have come in the top-flight.

And although he didn’t embark on his best goal-scoring season this term, bagging just three in 44 games for Claude Puel’s side, his quality is unquestionable, and it’s attacking quality Slaven Bilic’s West Ham are reportedly attempting to acquire this summer.

The Hammers laboured to an 11th place finish in the Premier League this term, and were a far cry away from the West Ham side that secured seventh place in last season’s competition.

Yet manager Bilic knows that he is under pressure to get the East London outfit back into that realm of the table, and with Pablo Zabaleta through the door and speculation surrounding a whole host of other talented individuals, the Croat is certainly seeking to bolster his squad.

And with Tadic somewhat struggling for form this term under Frenchman Puel, he could be tempted by a switch to the London Stadium, and with a reported figure of around £15 million possible enough to secure his services, it’s a deal West Ham may look to strike over the coming months.
