Report: West Ham target Batshuayi and Jovic as possible Haller replacements
West Ham United are reportedly bracing themselves to lose Sebastien Haller this summer, and have identified two strikers to possibly replace the Frenchman.
Haller endured a tough first season at the London Stadium following his £45 million move () from Eintracht Frankfurt in the last summer window.
Big things were expected of the 26-year-old, who had finished the 2018/19 season with 20 goals and 12 assists to his name.
The star could only manage seven for the Hammers in 2019/20, and speculation has been rife about his future.
, AS Monaco are interested in Haller, and West Ham have been looking at Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi and Real Madrid’s Luka Jovic as potential replacements.
Premier League winner Batshuayi is out of favour at Stamford Bridge, while Jovic – who was Haller’s strike partner at Eintracht – struggled in his first season in Spain following his reported £53.2 million move ().
TBR’s View – Haller needs a partner
It can be argued that West Ham misused Haller last term.
During his fantastic 2018/19 season, the ace performed so well because he had someone up top with him.
Manuel Pellegrini failed to play to his strengths, and David Moyes then benched him in favour of Michail Antonio, which, to the manager’s credit, worked out very well.
There is a great player in Haller, and the club should probably be looking to partner Batshuayi or Jovic in particular with him in order to get the best out of him, rather than replace him with one of the two.
