West Ham and Leicester would benefit having Mitrovic in attack

West Ham United are on the hunt for a new striker this summer after releasing Andy Carroll and selling Lucas Perez to Alaves. Manuel Pellegrini has little in the way of viable backup for Marko Arnautovic as Javier Hernandez wants to leave and Jordan Hugill could be surplus to requirements after making only three appearances since joining 18 months ago.

Leicester are also short in attack after releasing Shinji Okazaki. Kelechi Iheanacho has struggled for form and playing time and may be pushed down the pecking order if the Foxes can identify a centre-forward to compete with Jamie Vardy.
