West Ham reportedly have not given up on signing ‘extraordinary’ £30m game-changer Nicolo Zaniolo from Roma.

That’s according to Media Foot who claim that the Hammers have been boosted after the 23-year-old attacking midfielder decided against a move to Bournemouth.

West Ham have been linked with a move to sign Zaniolo for quite some time now.

£30 million for a player with the Italian’s calibre sounds like exceptional value to me. And the Hammers should not hesitate to sign him after talks with Bournemouth broke down…

West Ham still in for Zaniolo

Media Foot claim that the Hammers have not yet given up the chase of bringing the Roma star to the London Stadium in the January transfer window.

All we can do is hope that David Moyes manages to get a deal for Zaniolo over the line. He is a truly special player.

Football Italia describe the Roma star as a wonderful talent. And they’re spot on – he really is special.

Zaniolo is a world-class player in the making. Italy boss Roberto Mancini once described the 23-year-old as an ‘extraordinary’ player (Goal).

He is exactly what we need at West Ham. It’s just such a shame that we didn’t move quicker to sign him.

Zaniolo is big and powerful and standing at 6ft 3in tall, he seems to be perfectly built for the Premier League.

The Roma attacker can play in a variety of positions including the number 10 role and on both wings, and he has a proven track record of producing the goods at the very highest level for a sustained period of time.

West Ham signing Zaniolo would be absolutely massive. Let’s hope that David Sullivan has a big surprise up his sleeve between now and Tuesday.
