West Ham are being linked with a move for Simone Zaza'a former strike partner.
Mario Mandzukic has spent the last two seasons with Juventus, from whom the Hammers acquired Zaza last summer - albeit for little more than six months.However Zaza'a botched move to England hasn't deterred the Hammers from casting an eye ove the Old Lady once again, with the 30-year-old Croatian international reported to be on the hit-list this summer.
The 6'3" striker could be seen as a natural replacement for Zaza or Andy Carroll, whose future at West Ham remains in the balance even though he is on the verge of an England recall.
* Elsewhere today Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge is once again being linked with a move to London. This time it's the Daily Star who are suggesting West Ham are ready to spend up to £25million to lure the England international to the Olympic Stadium.
