West Ham United are still looking for a midfielder after selling Declan Rice to Arsenal for a British record fee. Juventus’ Denis Zakaria has been identified as one of their targets.
Last Thursday, we covered claims made in Italy that the Hammers and the Serie A side haven’t found a package that’s considered to be fair.
West Ham continue to chase the midfielder as TuttoMercatoWeb state they are ‘on pole’ to secure his services.
TMW say West Ham, RB Leipzig and AS Monaco are the three ‘strong hypotheses’ for the Switzerland international. Among these, David Moyes’ side are in the ‘front row’ and have been working to sign him for some time.
It’s claimed Juve need at least €20m plus bonuses to sanction the player’s sale and they seem to believe his transfer could be sorted out in the ‘next few days’.
Therefore, TMW say Zakaria is ‘now ready to say goodbye’ and it’ll be up to him to decide his next destination.
