Inter Milan striker Mehdi Taremi has linked his move away from the club this summer, with Leeds United and West Ham United hopes to secure his signature.
According to a report from Tasnim News Agency, the player is interested in transitioning to the Premier League, and it is still unclear where he will end. The 33-year-old has previously proven to be a reliable goalscoller, and Leeds and West Ham will benefit from signing him.
West Ham can use Mehdi Taremi
West Ham was extremely disappointed in his offense last season, and Niklas Fullkrag had a consistent struggle to score goals. He also struggled with the injury issue. They need to invest in reliable strikers, and Taremi will be a useful acquisition in the short term.
The usual game-time Iranian international struggle and transition to the Premier League last season at Inter Milan is ideal for him, especially if regular game-time is offered. He is 33 years old, but could be a quality short-term option for most Premier League teams.

Leeds needs quality strikers
Meanwhile, Leeds has secured promotions to the Premier League, and they are looking to establish themselves as patrons on top flights. We need quality players with more experience to survive in the Premier League next season. Taremi has quality and experience and he could prove to be a useful acquisition. He could also be used in reasonable amounts. He is wanted at Inter Milan and it’s unlikely that they will demand a premium from him. It will be interesting to see which of the two English clubs managed to get the deal done.
Fulham and Nottingham Forest are also monitoring his situation.
The 33-year-old is part of the Inter Milan team that reached the UEFA Champions League final last season, and his experience could prove integral to a mid-table Premier League club.
