The ‘dangerous’ 🤡centre-forward, as labelled by , has been attracting interest from Serie A outfit Bologna, as well as Celtic and Ipswich Town.

The Tractor Boys have al𝄹ready seen a £21m bid knocked back by the Greek club, who have slapped a £25m asking ♑price on the 24-year-old.

The report further claims that P🃏anathinaikos are remaining patient in their negotiations, hoping for a Premier League club t♔o come in with a sizable offer.

They believe that cl🦂ub maybe West Ha♐m – who have tracked Ionnidis closely for months.

Fotis Ioannidis profile

Standing at 6ft 1in tall, Ioannidis is a physically imposing centre-forward and is both-footed, aiding him in front of goal.𝓡

The 2000-born striker netted 23 goals whilst layi🃏ng on nine assists last term, with five of those strikes coming in just six Europa League appearances.

Given his age, if West Ham do land his signature he’d be able to lead the line for the next decade, so it see♚ms a sensible addition.
