"West Ham United are reportedly working on a surprise potential transfer deal for Manchester City central midfielder Mateo Kovacic. The Croatia international is out of favour at Man City at the moment, making just two appearances for Pep Guardiola's side in all competitions this season. West Ham have been linked with Kovacic in the past, and now a report from Jornal O Dia claims that they're back in for him as a possible replacement for Lucas Paqueta."
"One in, one out in West Ham's midfield? West Ham fans will likely have mixed feelings about the prospect of Paqueta leaving, as he's often been a top performer for them in the past. The 28-year-old was at one point linked with Man City after impressing in east London, but it's fair to say his form has gone quite a long way downhill in more recent times."
"The 31-year-old has had a great career at the highest level, representing the likes of Chelsea and Real Madrid, winning the Champions League four times and other major honours like the Premier League title. That kind of experience could be invaluable for WHUFC at the moment, with Kovacic looking like someone who could add real leadership and winning mentality to a team who've been in short supply of those qualities for a while now."
West Ham United are targeting Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic as a potential signing. Kovacic has made only two appearances for Manchester City this season and is currently out of favour. West Ham view Kovacic as a possible replacement for Lucas Paqueta, who has been linked with a move away and may return to Flamengo after a difficult season. Paqueta's form has dipped, prompting speculation that West Ham could shift him in the January window. Kovacic's high-level experience, including spells at Chelsea and Real Madrid and multiple Champions League wins, could provide leadership and a winning mentality.
