West Ham are having a busy end to the summer transfer window, and there’s multiple avenues of excitement for Hammers fans.
Earlier today, we covered claims that the club’s technical director Tim Steidten is travelling to Brazil to try and sign Yuri Alberto from Corinthians.
Stieten is hoping to bring the striker back to England with him and seal a deal before the market closes later this week.
Alberto isn’t the only attacker who is being targeted by West Ham.
Monday’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport covers AC Milan interest in Hugo Ekitike, PSG’s young striker. He’s set to leave the French club, given he’s not a part of Luis Enrique core plans.
According to the Italian newspaper, West Ham have ‘moved ahead’ of the Rossoneri in the race for his signature, despite it also being claimed Ekitike would prefer a movie to Milan.
The signing remains a ‘dream’ for the Serie A club, but it’s seen as very difficult given the efforts from David Moyes’ side.
Milan will have to hope West Ham seal a deal for Alberto and perhaps drop the Ekitike plan.
