West Ham have added Celtic fullback Josip Juranovic to their list of transfer targets ahead of the January transfer window, according to ExWHUemployee.
The insider claims that the Croatian international is being considered as an option, along with Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Torino’s Ola Aina.
Most supporters on Twitter would back a move for Juranovic, although a few believe that Wan-Bissaka would also be a decent choice:

Juranovic has had an outstanding World Cup for Croatia, and he is likely to be available next month, with Celtic having already signed a replacement in Alistair Johnston.
However there will be competition for the defender, with Chelsea said to be keeping tabs on him, while United are reportedly considering the player as a potential replacement for Wan-Bissaka.
Whether the Hammers do end up going after Juranovic or one of the other options, it seems almost certain that a new right-back will arrive at the London Stadium.
