West Ham may have another chance to sign ‘special talent’ Kristjan Asllani in January

West Ham may well have a second chance to sign Kristjan Asllani after David Moyes lost out on his signature in the summer transfer window.

That’s according to a report from Tuttomercatoweb who claim that the 20-year-old is already really unhappy at Inter Milan after the lack of game-time that he has received.

Inter manager Simone Inzaghi has given Asllani just 180 minutes of action spread over eight appearances so far this season (Transfermarkt).

He may well be wondering why he didn’t choose a move to West Ham from Empoli instead of Inter in the summer transfer window.

David Moyes wanted to bring the talented Albanian ace to the London Stadium, but the midfielder joined Inter in an £8.6 million deal in the end.

It appears as though the Hammers may have a second bite at the cherry though…

Tuttomercatoweb reckon that the 20-year-old is already asking to leave the Italian giants in the January transfer window.

We believe that the Albanian ace would be a very strong addition for the Hammers.

And David Moyes should be going all out to bring him to the London Stadium, if he is indeed given a second chance to do so.

The 20-year-old made a huge impression in Serie A last season and was one of Empoli’s standout performers.

Asllani is a tough tackling and energetic defensive midfielder by trade. He is very strong in the challenge and quick along the ground.

On face value, the Inter Milan ace seems to possess all of the attributes needed to succeed in the Premier League. He is still very young though and is obviously unproven at the very highest level for a sustained period of time.

He would certainly provide solid cover and competition for Declan Rice, Flynn Downes and Tomas Soucek in the middle of the park.

He has been described as a ‘special talent’ by Albania Hub. At just 20-years-old, the Inter Milan ace has a huge ceiling.

And I would love to see Kristjan Asllani at West Ham in the January transfer window.
