According to Brentwood Gazette, West Ham are preparing a £20million transfer bid for former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko; whilst Calcio Mercato claim Chelsea are targeting Inter Milan midfielder Ivan Perisic.
The Bosnian international netted 72 times in 189 appearances for the Citizens, helping fire them to two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and a Capital One Cup, before moving to Roma during the 2015 summer transfer window.
He’s struggled to produce the goods at Stadio Olimpico, grabbing just nine goals across all competitions this season. But nonetheless, Brentwood Gazette claim West Ham are preparing a £20million transfer bid for the 6 foot 4 frontman as they pursue a marquee summer signing.

Giallorossi will be reluctant to lose the 76-cap international but already 30 years of age, they may struggle to turn down bids worth the aforementioned sum during the coming transfer window.
Meanwhile, Calcio Mercato claim Chelsea are targeting Inter Milan’s Ivan Perisic, who has grabbed six goals and four assists in 27 Serie A outings this season, ahead of the summer transfer window.
The versatile midfielder has previously enjoyed affluent spells with Club Brugge, Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg and has reportedly been earmarked as a potential signing by Antonio Conte, who is expected to be announced as the next Blues boss at some point before the end of the season.
But Inter remain reluctant to sell a player who they signed only last summer in a €16million transfer, especially with the 27-year-old amid a run of four goals and one assist in his last four outings across all competitions.
Resultantly, Calcio Mercato claim Chelsea may have to pay as much as £30million to secure Perisic’s services during the coming transfer window.
