Report: West Ham United to battle Arsenal, Barcelona for Mario Mandzukic

By , Reporter
Barcelona and Arsenal join West Ham United in the race to sign Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic, according to reports.

West Ham United face competition from Arsenal and Barcelona over the signature of Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic, according to reports.

The 30-year-old played under Hammers boss Slaven Bilic for the Croatian national team and is likely to find first-team opportunities in Turin limited this season following the arrival of Gonzalo Higuain from Napoli.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Blaugrana are looking into Mandzukic as a back-up to their famed attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar, while the Gunners are also said to be in the market for a striker.

Mandzukic joined the Serie A champions last summer in a £16.1m deal from Atletico Madrid and scored 13 goals in 36 appearances.
