After their win over Fulham yesterday, West Ham rose to 12th in the Premier League.
The Hammers’ target would be qualification for European places and that might take some signings in January. There is now an indication that Graham Potter’s side could already be looking to bring in a midfielder this month.
InterLive have reported today that the player in question is Inter Milan’s Kristjan Asllani, who is struggling to make an impact at the Italian champions. He’s had an inconsistent few weeks and has been criticised for his performances.
That is why Inter are not ruling out an exit this month and in the meantime, West Ham have ‘made their voices heard’ for the 22-year-old Albanian midfielder.
Asllani is in demand in Italy and abroad, as there is interest from both Fiorentina and Torino and they have already tried to land him.
West Ham have been handed encouragement in the move, because the report states that Inter already have a plan to replace the Albania international. A move for Samuele Ricci will make it easier for them to let go of Asllani.
