West Ham United are looking at Atalanta’s Joakim Mæhle, according to multiple claims coming out of Italy today.
L’Eco di Bergamo is the newspaper local to the Serie A side and they have a report, relayed by Calcio Atalanta, discussing players whose sales ‘will be inevitable’ this summer.
This list includes the 25-year-old, and West Ham ‘monitor him’. That’s all the information mentioned about the Hammers and the Denmark international, who operated as a right-back, right wing-back and left wing-back last term.
Mæhle still has three years left on his contract and the report adds Gian Piero Gasperini’s side value him around €18m.
With the Premier League club setting their sights on the versatile player, Tutto Atalanta add West Ham could make a ‘lunge’ to sign the Dane in the ‘next few days’.
Mæhle managed three goals and two assists from 35 matches in all competitions for Atalanta last season.
