Although West Ham United turned to the Italian market to sign Gianluca Scamacca last summer, according to recent reports, the Hammers could have landed two Serie A players.
That’s according to Italian media reports, which claim that David Moyes was offered the chance to sign Piotr Zielinski from Napoli, but refused to meet the midfielder’s €5m-per-year salary demands.

These reports claim that Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis had “cleared West Ham to negotiate” with the Polish international during the summer transfer window, but the proposed deal did not materialize due to the player’s wage demands.
Zielinski, who will return to action for Poland later tonight against Argentina in the World Cup, has less than two years left on his contract, so if he doesn’t put pen to paper and sign an extension, he could be back. to be on sale in the summer.
If that happens, it will be interesting to see if the Hammers will rekindle their old interest.
