Juan Sebastian Sforza could move to West Ham United, although Juventus, Bayern Munich, PSG and Manchester City are allegedly interested.

West Ham United are interested in signing Argentine youngster Juan Sebastian Sforza, agent Camillo Autieri has told Milan News.

A young talent who plays for Newells Old Boys in his homeland, Sforza has been tipped for big things and looks like one of the rising stars of South American football.

And it seems that he could be on his way to Europe in the near future with clubs in England, Spain and Germany all keen to sign the midfielder in the summer transfer window.

“We have already arranged meetings with Roma, Inter, Juventus and Napoli. Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and West Ham (are also interested),” Autieri said.

Autieri adds that Newells Old Boys would demand around £1 million from any club wishing to sign ‘Juani’ in the summer.

An attacking midfielder who has the ability to carve apart opposition defences, the agent has even compared Sforza to the former AC Milan midfielder Massimo Ambrosini (below), a versatile and tough-tackling former Italy international who won four Serie A titles with the Rossoneri.

Needless to say, West Ham have a challenge on their hands trying to lure Sforza to the London Stadium.
