Mehdi Taremi keen on Premier League move amid West Ham United, Fulham, Leeds United links
West Ham United, Fulham and Leeds United have received a significant boost in their pursuit of Inter Milan ace Mehdi Taremi.
According to a report from Tasnim, Mehdi Taremi is looking to move to the Premier League this summer. It is a massive boost for West Ham, Fulham and Leeds, who are interested in signing the experienced Iranian striker.
Taremi made quite a name for himself at FC Porto before joining Inter Milan on a free transfer last summer. While he was involved in a total of 43 matches, the 33-year-old was more of a backup option at the Italian club. He finished with 12 goal contributions in just over 1,800 minutes of first-team action.
While he still has two years left on his deal at the club, he could end up parting ways with them as Inter are revamping this attack ahead of the new season. They are expected to make multiple additions in the final, which will push Taremi further down the pecking order.
As a result, the Iranian international is set to leave Inter just 12 months after joining them. His departure is now a certainty. While multiple top clubs from across the globe are keen on his signature, the veteran striker has his heart set on a move to the Premier League.
Premier League trio could battle it out for Taremi
It is a massive boost for clubs like West Ham, Leeds and Fulham, who have expressed an interest in signing him. The Hammers lack options in the final third with Niclas Fllkrug their only experienced striker. As a result, they are looking at Taremi as a short-term fix.
With Leeds securing a return to the Premier League, they are looking for players who can help them stay up. Daniel Farke seeks a proven goal scorer, and Taremi could prove to be a reliable option up top.
Meanwhile, Fulham are also in the market for a new striker, and Marco Silva looks to help them take the next step. While the Iranian forward will be more of a stop-gap signing, they do have Rodrigo Muniz for the long run.
Taremi currently earns around €3 million per season, which certainly won’t be a problem for any of the clubs. However, Inter are yet to name their asking price for the 33-year-old, who still has two years left on his deal.
