AC Milan look set to complete two new signings. And both players have been linked with moves to West Ham this month.
Krzysztof Piatek and Tiago Djalo are closing in on moves to AC Milan, according to various reports.
This looks set to be a double blow for the Hammers, who were hoping to sign the talented duo.
Krzysztof Piatek
Piatek is closing in on a £31m deal to move from Genoa to AC Milan, according to Sky in Italy via Sky Sports News. This transfer could pave the way Gonzalo Higuain move to Chelsea.
Italian news source Alfredo Pedulla recently claimed that West Ham were interested in the 23-year-old, although AC Milan always led the race.
The Poland international has scored 19 goals in 21 games for Genoa and was seen as an ideal replacement for Marko Arnautovic.
But AC Milan have won the reportedly race for Piatek, who played for Cracovia before his switch to Italy.
Tiago Djalo
West Ham were also keen on Djalo, who is a promising young defender playing in Portugal with Sporting CP.
Portuguese media outlet O Jogo reported that West Ham and Manchester City were interested in signing the 18-year-old defender.
Djalo had reached an impasse with Sporting Lisbon over talk of a new contract and this alerted the Hammers.
But Italian media source Calcio Mercato are reporting that AC Milan have beaten West Ham, Lazio, Manchester United and Manchester City to the Portugal youth international.
