Chosen for the World Cup after some good performances for Spezia, Jakub Kiwior helped his national team reach the competition’s first knockout round where they ultimately lost 3-1 to France.
Still, the centre-back was able to showcase his ability on a bigger platform, although there was no need for that down West Ham United’s end.
The Hammers have been after the Polish defender since the summer, and tried to sign him back then, only for him to turn them down.
The West Ham target stayed at Spezia, where he continues to be a star, and has attracted more and more competition with his displays.
In fact, La Nazione on Wednesday, relayed by Voce Giallorossa, explains there is a ‘strong interest from a lot of clubs’ for the 22-year-old.
They name five of them, claiming AS Roma, Milan, Napoli, Juventus and West Ham are those looking at Kiwior to bolster their defence.
As for the price, it is expected that ‘over €20m’ will be needed to get him, which is a fee the Hammers shouldn’t have too much problem finding if they really want to gift him to David Moyes.
