West Ham United could be sent another of the Italians’ cast-offs.
Juventus are willing to loan Patrice Evra to West Ham United for the remainder of the left-back’s contract, according to the Sun.
Evra has fallen out of favour under Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri in this season and is set to enter the final six months of his deal.

It is claimed the Italian champions will sanction an early exit, however, and a return to England, where the 35-year-old won five Premier Leagues and one Champions League during an eight-year spell at Manchester United, is said to appeal.
West Ham have struggled in Evra’s position this season, with Aaron Cresswell’s playing time limited due to injury and summer recruits Arthur Masuaku and Alvaro Arbeloa not quite up to scratch.

And with the Hammers unlikely to take up their option to sign Juventus loanee Simone Zaza on a full-time basis, taking Evra off their hands could act as compensation.
Zaza has failed to score in 11 outings for Slaven Bilic’s side and looks set to return to his parent club next month, ahead of a permanent move elsewhere.
Would Evra be a good signing for West Ham United?
