According to reports from TMW, Premier League clubs West Ham United and Crystal Palace are showing a strong interest in Davide Santon.

The 26-year-old has struggled to make an impact for Inter since returning to the Giuseppe Meazza in 2015.

He has made only 14 starts in the Serie A this season, and is expected to leave the Italian giants this summer.

Santon, who previously played for Newcastle United, has an opportunity to return to the Premier League, with both Crystal Palace and West Ham closely following his situation.

Palace are currently without a manager following Sam Allardyce’s shock resignation. However, they need to continue signing the right profile of players to bolster the squad.

Likewise, this summer is absolutely massive for West Ham. Last season was a huge disappointment and Slaven Bilic’s position at the club came into question.

However, he has stayed on and the Croatian should be looking to reinforce several areas of the pitch, especially his defence.

Santon previously enjoyed a successful spell in England, and there is no reason to believe why he cannot perform again in the Premier League.

A versatile full back who can play on both right and left flanks, Santon should be a good signing for either of the two clubs.
