West Ham have great interest in signing Juventus central defender Koni De Winter this summer.

According to Tutto Juve journalist Mirko Di Natale, Koni De Winter is firmly on the radar of West Ham ahead of the summer transfer window.

De Winter is someone who has been on the West Ham radar for the last few months.

Hammers boss David Moyes will undoubtedly be keen to add some more competition to his centre-back department at the London Stadium this summer.

Craig Dawson was sold in the summer whilst Angelo Ogbonna has just turned 35. West Ham desperately need more quality and youth in the heart of defence.

So it’s no surprise that Moyes wants to bring the Juve ace to the London Stadium…

Mirko Di Natale claims that the Hammers could be set to battle the likes of Bayer Leverkusen, Monza and Sassuolo for the 20-year-old defender.

I would love Moyes to get this one over the line. He could be available for as little as £13 million as well, according to Calciomercato.

De Winter can play as a centre-back, central midfielder or even a full-back…on both sides! That makes his reported valuation even more of a bargain.

The young Belgian has spent this season on loan with Empoli from Juventus, and he has seriously impressed.

In 14 Serie A appearances this season, the 20-year-old has averaged one tackle and 4.5 clearances per game. He’s also won an average of 1.1 aerial duels per match and has recorded a completion rate of 85.8% from 35.2 passes per game (Who Scored).

The Belgian is a real athlete and standing at 6ft 2in tall, he is an imposing physical specimen. Despite his young age, he seems to have all of the tools needed to succeed in the Premier League.

I think that signing Koni De Winter form Juventus for just £13 million this summer should be an absolute no-brainer for David Moyes.

Hopefully the Scot manages to pull this one off.
