West Ham’s chase for Juventus winger Matias Soulé is getting some strong updates from the Italian media.

Earlier this week, it had already been claimed that the Hammers are in touch with the player’s agents, while it was made it clear it’s them who lead the race for the signing.

Outlet Calcio Mercato now shows up with a fresh story on this pursuit, claiming that West Ham started initial contacts with Soulé’s entourage.

It’s claimed that the Hammers already told Juventus about their desire to come up with an official bid, as they have ‘every intention of closing’ the deal.

The Bianconeri are said to be in a ‘hurry’ to get the sale done as well, and that’s why Calcio Mercato says there are all the conditions in place ‘to go to checkers’ already.

Still, the website makes it clear that Juventus are looking to make between €35m and €40m with the sale, so we should wait and see if West Ham will actually show up with that amount.

Since the Hammers are apparently well-informed about all conditions to get a deal done, that seems to be the only step left.
