Arsenal and West Ham linked with Real Madrid striker

Arsenal and West Ham United have been linked with a potential January move for Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic.

The Serbia international has struggled for regular game time at Madrid with Karim Benzema being the undisputed striker.

His prospects have not improved with Carlo Ancelotti at the helm this term. He has played just 23 minutes of first-team football.

According to Eurosport, he could be heading for a permanent exit when the transfer window reopens at the turn of the year.

Jovic has been linked with both the Hammers and Gunners, but it is claimed that he may prefer a move to either Germany or Italy.

Jovic spent the back end of last season on loan with Eintracht Frankfurt, but struggled for game time due to Andre Silva's presence.

He may be tempted to return to his former club for a third stint. Juventus have also been associated with the marksman's services in the past.
