West Ham United are reportedly keeping an eye on 24 year old Bologna striker Simone Verdi.
Emissaries were present at Bologna’s 4-1 win over Chievo Verona in the Italian league last Sunday. That was a pretty good game for them to watch, as Verdi managed to score a goal and make an assist.
The player arrived at Bologna last summer, having signed from Milan in a €1.5m deal. In 22 appearances for the club so far, he’s scored five goals.
Verdi didn’t get many chances at the Rossoneri, and he was loaned out twice during his time at the Serie A side.
It’s not mentioned how much Bologna would demand from west Ham for the striker. But considering he’s just arrived at the club and has a contract until 2020, the amount would be many times bigger than what they paid last summer.
Another Italian striker at West Ham called Simone? It doesn’t bear thinking about.
