West Ham to make £10m bid for Croatian starlet

 

West Ham United are on the verge of making a £10m bid for Dinamo Zagreb teenager Ante Coric, according to the London Evening Standard.

 

Coric, 19, has been included in Ante Cacic’s Croatia squad for Euro 2016 and has previously courted interest from Manchester City and Liverpool.

 

Slaven Bilic is keen to bolster his offensive options in the summer with a world-class striker and two wingers his priority. The Hammers are reportedly close to reuniting with Besiktas wideman Gokhan Tore and is now turning his attentions to Coric.

The Zagreb winger was used fleetingly last season but managed to play in 86 minutes the Champions League and scored four goals in 28 league appearances. No Zagreb player required fewer minutes per successful dribble in the Champions League than Coric last season (43 mins).
