Per the source, Mandzukic was at the top of the Hammers January shopping list. West Ham were unable to agree a deal with Juve.

Another article from the Sun reports that West Ham want to sign Mandzukic this summer. The report states that Juventus have valued the striker at £18.

However, the 30-year-old will have just 12 months remaining on his contract during the upcomming transfer window. This may lead to Juve offloading him on a cut price deal.
