Two months ago, Calciomercato stated West Ham United could be an option for Udinese’s Lazar Samardžić in the summer window. The Hammers continue to be named as a suitor, along with Brighton & Hove Albion, who already looked at him in the winter market.
That’s at least what Mondo Udinese are reporting about the 26-year-old, who is set to leave the Serie A side after this season.
West Ham, Brighton, Napoli and Juventus have all shown interest in the midfielder, and the two Italian clubs have been following him for a while.
It’s further explained that these four teams have requested information about the player.
With regards to the Premier League duo, Mondo Udinese state West Ham and Brighton are ‘trying to put together the right offer’ to secure the Serbia international’s services.
Samardžić has scored five goals and registered two assists from 32 league games this season, and the report says his recent displays have helped Udinese to get out of the relegation zone They are currently 16th, a point behind 18th placed Empoli.
Taking this into account, the player’s current valuation now needs to be determined, and the outlet makes no mention of any figures, either for his asking price or the fee West Ham and Brighton could offer.
