Report: West Ham and Everton eye Samuele Mulattieri

West Ham United and Everton reportedly want Samuele Mulattieri of Spezia.

West Ham United and Everton are among the clubs interested in signing Spezia attacker Samuele Mulattieri in the summer transfer window, according to a report in Calciomercato.com.

Italian giants Inter Milan and Juventus are also claimed to be interested in the 17-year-old talented and promising attacker.

Tough for West Ham United and Everton

Inter and Juventus are two of the biggest clubs in Italy and are bigger than West Ham or Everton.

Given that Mulattieri is only 17 years of age, the Italian may not be willing to leave his home country and move to England this summer.

After all, the youngster would progress much better if he plays for the Inter or the Juventus youth teams.

Free transfer

According to Football.London, West Ham and Everton could actually sign Mulattieri on a free transfer.

It has been reported that the 17-year-old has yet to sign a professional contract with Spezia, meaning that the Premier League duo only need to pay the Italian side a compensation fee.
