West Ham United try to hijack Fulham's Kostas Mitroglou bid?

West Ham United are reportedly planning to hijack Fulham's move for Olympiacos striker Kostas Mitroglou.

The Greek forward underwent a medical with the Cottagers on Thursday ahead of a £12m switch to Craven Cottage.

However, according to The Mirror, the Hammers are plotting a transfer deadline-day gazumping of their Premier League rivals.

The Irons have been looking to add a striker to their ranks all summer, and the 25-year-old Mitroglou is on their radar, despite his advanced discussions with Fulham.
