West Ham United have reportedly received a bid for Angelo Ogbonna ahead of the January transfer window.
Ogbonna has struggled for game-time this season. Manuel Pellegrini has predominantly opted to use Fabian Balbuena and Issa Diop at the heart of the Hammers defence.
The Italian has made just six appearances in the Premier League this term, with half of those games coming from the bench, including on Saturday as he replaced Balbuena during the early stages of the clash with Crystal Palace.
And perhaps there is a chance that the Palace game could be one of the final times that Ogbonna features for the Irons. The Daily Mirror (22/12; page 68) reports that Bologna have made a £9 million offer for the 30-year-old.
It remains to be seen how West Ham respond to the offer. He may not be a first-choice, but he has been an excellent servant since arriving in 2015, making over 100 appearances for the club in all competitions.
And with Pellegrini not having a large number of options in his position, it would arguably be a surprise if the Hammers decided to give Ogbonna the green light to leave the London Stadium – unless they received a better offer for the Italy international.
