West Ham and Aston Villa have made ‘real enquiries’ for €80m forward – PL duo dreaming big

It appears that with the new money in their bank account from the Declan Rice sale, West Ham United have big ideas.

They, alongside Aston Villa, have been trying to improve their squad to take a leap forward after respective successful seasons.

West Ham won the Conference League while Unai Emery took the Villans to a strong top half finish after a poor start to the campaign, and it appears both have decided to see if they can sign Dusan Vlahovic, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Italian newspaper bring the surprising news on Thursday, as they look at the situation surrounding the Juventus star, who could be sold this summer if the right offer arrives.

Reports have suggested the Turin side would want €80m for their striker, which is a fee that neither West Ham nor Aston Villa have ever spent in their history, but that didn’t stop them from asking a few questions.

While Paris Saint-Germain have been keen, it’s stated the Ligue 1 side have yet to come forward with anything concrete, while ‘real enquiries’ from England have only come from what they describe as ‘lesser clubs’, before naming the Hammers and the Villans.

Convincing Vlahovic to go to West Ham and Aston Villa could be a tall order, but a contact was made, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
