West Ham United allegedly could face competition from Roma and Juventus for the signing of Sassuolo midfielder Davide Frattesi.
That’s according to a report from CalcioMercato who claim that Roma and Juventus are eyeing up €30 million (£30 million) moves for the 23-year-old Sassuolo star.
David Moyes allegedly made a £20 million move to bring Frattesi to the London Stadium in the summer.
That obviously didn’t happen though, and now the Hammers boss will really have his work cut-out if he is to sign the Italy international.
Central midfield is somewhere where the Scot will really want to bolster in January and next summer. West Ham need a central midfielder who is very competent on the ball, if we are to really kick on to another level.
Frattesi would have been the ideal man for the job but it seems as though a problem has arisen…
West Ham face Roma and Juventus competition for Davide Frattesi
The Hammers now have to deal with competition from the two Serie A giants for the Sassuolo star’s signature, according to a report from CalcioMercato.
We believe that the Sassuolo ace would be an exceptional addition for either West Ham.
He is an orthodox central midfielder by trade but he can also operate in the number 10 position.
The 23-year-old bagged four goals and three assists in 36 Serie A appearances for Sassuolo last season (Who Scored).
During those outings, Frattesi averaged 1.3 tackles, one interception and 1.3 clearances per game (Who Scored).
The Italian ace made 34 passes on average per match and recorded an impressive 83.7% completion rate (Who Scored).
This term, the 23-year-old has racked up four goals in 11 games for Sassuolo (Who Scored).
Frattesi is an incredibly good footballer with impressive technical ability, a fine engine and an attitude of the very highest level.
We would absolutely love to see the Italian arrive at the London Stadium. And we might still have a good chance of doing that, with Frattesi’s ex-teammate Gianluca Scamacca now at the club.
Roma and Juventus showing interest in signing the Sassuolo ace has undoubtedly thrown a spanner in the works for West Ham though.
