West Ham United transfer news: Kostas Mitroglou move moves ‘one step closer’ after Marseille suffer shock Europa League elimination
Kostas Mitroglou could soon be heading back to London, with West Ham United reportedly keen on the former Fulham striker.Mitroglou was unable to stop Marseille crashing out of the Europa League group stages on Thursday night, despite reaching the final against Atletico Madrid last season.2

Mitroglou is reportedly a January target for the Hammers

Thursday’s 2-1 defeat to Lazio left the Ligue 1 side with just one point from four Group H games so far.And now, according to L’Equipe, fewer games in the second half of the season means the Les Olmpienswill ship out a number of first-team players when the January window opens.Among them will be former Fulham forward Mitroglou, who has started just four league games so far this term.And that will come as good news to West Ham, who are said to be working on a deal to bring the 30-year-old back to England. The Hammers were linked with a move for Marseille captain Dimitri Payet in the summer, but a move to bring the former Hammer of the Year back to east London failed to materialise.2

The Greece international struggled in west London

The Hammers look set to allow Javier Hernandez to leave in the New Year and will be in the market for attacking reinforcements with Mitroglou high on their list of targets.Star striker Marko Arnautovic has struggled with a persistent knee injury throughout the course of the season.And,as effective as he may be, Andy Carroll can no longer be relied upon due to his regular injury problems.
