West Ham United are tracking FC Midtjylland forward Franculino Dju. Manager Nuno Espirito wants attackers capable of helping the club secure an immediate return to the Premier League.
What's the situation?
West Ham United finished 18th in the Premier League, with 39 points from 38 games. Their recent form was WLLLW. They scored 46 goals and conceded 65, with a goal difference of -19.
Who is Franculino Dju?
Dju has been a transfer target for a while, but signing him could prove tricky as he has plenty of interest across Europe. He bagged 22 goals in 34 games across all competitions last season. The West Ham target impressed in the opening phase of the Europa League, bagging three goals in five appearances.
Why it matters for West Ham United
Dju has been consistent in the Danish Superliga across the last three seasons, bagging 55 goals and 13 assists in 107 games. While Dju is primarily a striker, he can also feature on the right wing. He has what it takes to hit the ground running in the Championship.

West Ham have been linked with several attackers this summer, and Dju is not believed to be the utmost priority. They will look to recruit quality players across every position, but are hoping to keep hold of some of their key players.
