# West Ham: Hammers still interested in signing Sasa Kalajdzic

**West Ham remain interested in signing Stuttgart forward Sasa Kalajdzic in the summer transfer window, according to sources in Germany.**

### The Lowdown: **Kalajdzic** struggling for minutes

The 24-year-old has played a bit-part role for the Bundesliga side this season, making just [four league starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/377271/Show/Sasa-Kalajdzic) and registering one goal and assist apiece.

The towering 6 foot 7 Kalajdzic may, therefore, be looking for a way out of Stuttgart at the end of the season and West Ham have been [linked](https://insidefutbol.com/2021/05/25/ive-told-my-agent-this-everton-and-west-ham-linked-sasa-kalajdzic-on-transfer-talk/509569/) with a move in the past.

A new update has now emerged that acts as a boost to the Hammers.

### The Latest: Hammers still keen on move

According to German outlet [*Kicker*](https://www.kicker.de/die-zeichen-bei-kalajdzic-stehen-auf-abschied-892475/artikel) \[via [*Sport Witness*](https://sportwitness.co.uk/west-ham-interested-towering-striker-not-waned-price-quite-bit-less-e20m/)\], West Ham’s interest in Kalajdzic ‘has not waned’ and a ‘goodbye’ from Stuttgart in the summer looks likely.

It is even claimed that a transfer is ‘apparently imminent’, suggesting a switch to the London Stadium really could be on the cards.

Kalajdzic’s current Stuttgart deal [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-kalajdzic/profil/spieler/369567) at the end of next season, so the German club only have two transfer windows left to receive a fee for his services and he is unlikely to sign a new deal.

Because of this, the report suggests his previous €20m (£16.5m) price tag is ‘likely to drop by quite a bit’.

### The Verdict: Strong summer addition

Kalajdzic could be a unique addition for the Hammers in the summer window, given his enormous frame, giving them a different option in attack when Michail Antonio needs a break.

He has scored [four goals in 11 caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-kalajdzic/profil/spieler/369567) for Austria, showing that he is capable of producing end product on the international stage, and has been efficient in front of goal when afforded more minutes in Germany, scoring [16 times in 23](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/377271/History/Sasa-Kalajdzic) Bundesliga starts last season.

The fact that Kalajdzic’s price tag is believed to have plummeted from the original fee Stuttgart wanted only acts as a further boost for David Moyes.
