Ivan Klasnic: Euro 2008 Star Striker in Demand: Wigan, West Ham, Sunderland & Bolton in Chase!

Wigan manager Steve Bruce and West Ham manager Alan Curbishley are reportedly leading the race to sign Croatian Euro 2008 striker Ivan Klasnic. The 28-year-old is available on a free transfer after his contract expired at Werder Bremen despite the Bundesliga club’s attempts to keep him.Klasnic made two appearances for his nation at Euro 2008 and scored in both (against Poland & Turkey). His record at international level is almost 1 goal in every 3 games (31 appearances & 10 goals) so he has some pedigree. The striker has played his entire career in Germany which is unsurprising as he was born and raised in Hamburg. He even turned down advances from the Germans to play for them in favour of the country of his parents birth Croatia.Last season he scored 7 League goals in 16 appearances (9 starts) and broke back into the Croatian national team after a year-long absence. Klasnic is now back to full fitness and available on a free transfer so would surely be worth a gamble for numerous Premier League clubs in need of strikers. The Latics and West Ham have reportedly opened negotiations for the player but the likes of Bolton, Sunderland and French club Nantes are also chasing the striker.
