West Ham youngster Emmanuel Fejokwu wanted by AC Milan
Spazio Milan has reported that AC Milan technical director Geoffrey Moncada wants to sign some academy stars this summer.
Moncada has identified West Ham’s Fejokwu as a key target, having shown great promise for club and country.
Fejokwu holds a Dutch passport, so he is now eligible to sign for Milan as a European player after turning 16 recently.
However, the Rossoneri will face competition from several clubs in Holland, Italy and elsewhere in Europe.
Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, Inter Milan, Bayer Leverkusen and Club Brugge are also named as admirers of the Englishman.
It remains to be seen whether Fejokwu has any interest in leaving West Ham, where he has developed this season.
The right-back, who can also play as a central defender, made 12 appearances in the U18 Premier League.
The Hammers will be hopeful of keeping Fejokwu for the foreseeable future, as he could be a star in the making.
