West Ham United defender Angelo Ogbonna has reportedly attracted attention from Italian clubs.

West Ham United fans appear keen for Angelo Ogbonna to leave the London Stadium, following rumours that he could depart in January.

Calcio Mercato has claimed that Roma and AC Milan are both interested in taking the West Ham man at the next opportunity.

And the widespread opinion of Hammers supporters it that the centre-back, who is on a £60,000-a-week contract at the London Stadium (Daily Star), should be sold if a bid comes in.

Ogbonna has struggled at West Ham this season, and lost his place in Manuel Pellegrini’s starting line-up.

The Italian had previously been a reliable presence in West Ham’s defence, but some error prone displays of late have led to him losing his place.

West Ham have good options at centre-back, with Fabian Balbuena and Issa Diop both impressing since summer moves to the London Stadium.

Ogbonna knows Serie A well, having spent most his career in Italy, and a return to his homeland may well appeal to the experienced centre-back in the new year.
