West Ham have initiated contact for signing in ‘recent hours’ – Talks in London to be held this week

On Tuesday, Sky Italia stated AS Roma general manager Tiago Pinto will fly to London this week to hold talks with West Ham United for Gianluca Scamacca.

Romagiallorossa.it have again highlighted Pinto’s trip to the English capital and it won’t just be to try and snatch the striker.

The outlet says Pinto could also discuss Bryan Reynolds and Rick Karsdorp with West Ham in London.

It’s claimed David Moyes’ side are in the market for a new right-back and have the two Roma players on their transfer wish list. The duo are no longer part of José Mourinho’s plans at the Serie A side.

The report says the 21-year-old American, who spent the last season on loan at Westerlo, has had ‘some contact’ with the Hammers in ‘recent hours’. With regards to Karsdorp, it’s said he could be included as part of a deal to get Scamacca to Roma.

With West Ham having Reynolds and the 28-year-old Dutchman on their list, it’s believed they’re set talk about the duo with Pinto in London this week.

Wednesday’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport also covers Pinto’s trip to London for West Ham talks, although their slant is solely about Scamacca.
