A few days ago, West Ham United were linked with a move for AC Milan’s Yunus Musah.
Calciomercato claimed that while Napoli were advancing for the USA international, the Hammers had made a late attempt to sign the ex-Arsenal youth player.
More details about West Ham’s interest in Musah have arrived from La Repubblica today.
The newspaper, as relayed by AreaNapoli, claim the 22-year-old is very close to joining Napoli and the London club’s attempts are ‘useless’.
The versatile midfielder has been a key reason behind that rejection as he is keen on playing for Napoli and also excited about playing under Antonio Conte, who won the Scudetto with the Partenopei some weeks ago.
The newspaper state the Italian manager has been chasing Musah’s signature for a year now and is a big fan of his versatility, which has always been on show at Milan.
West Ham will now have to move to other targets but it is certain that a player of Musah’s profile and versatility is difficult to find.
