West Ham United could sign Denis Zakaria from Juventus for an absolute bargain fee this month.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, West Ham are showing the most concrete interest in signing Denis Zakaria, and he could be available for just €20 million (£17 million) in the summer transfer window.

Hammers boss David Moyes obviously needs to bolster his central midfield ranks this summer with Declan Rice widely expected to leave the London Stadium.

And it seems as though the Scot could bring in a really top-class player for an absolute bargain fee…

Tuttomercatoweb reckon that the Hammers can actually sign the Juventus star for £17 million this summer – £13 million cheaper than what had previously been reported.

That would represent sensational value for West Ham.

Zakaria is a defensive midfielder by trade but crucially as far as West Ham are concerned, he can play in the centre-back position as as well.

The Swiss international is incredibly dynamic and energetic. He is a tenacious tackler and has the kind of physicality needed to succeed in the Premier League.

If he was given a regular run of games by David Moyes at the London Stadium, I’m certain that he would prove his true worth.

Former BSC Young Boys coach Uli Forte labelled him as an incredible player with exceptional technical ability (Mondo Napoli).

I would be delighted if Moyes brings Denis Zakaria to West Ham, especially for just £17 million.

Let’s hope that this one happens, because the 26-year-old would be a hugely positive addition for the Hammers.
