Napoli could sell Tottenham Hotspur target Piotr Zielinski to West Ham United, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
West Ham’s offer for Tottenham-linked Piotr Zielinski
The Italian publication has reported this morning that West Ham are ready to make the maximum offer possible for Zielinski.
The Hammers have offered €35 million (£29.30 million) to Napoli and more than €5 million (£4.19 million) per year as salary to the 26-year-old Poland international midfielder.
Napoli would like more money from West Ham, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, who have added that the Italian club are now “wavering” and are considering selling him to the Hammers this summer.
Blow for Spurs?
If West Ham are able to sign Zielinski for €35 million (£29.30 million), then it could come as a blow for Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham have also been linked with the former Udinese star.
Earlier this summer, well-known and well-respected journalist AlfredoPedulla reported on his website that Tottenham are interested in Zielinski, who is rated very highly by Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes.
Area Napoli subsequently claimed that Tottenham had made an enquiry about the Polish star.
Now, we know that Tottenham have signed Yves Bissouma this summer, but Zielinski is more attack-minded.
It seems that Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte and the club’s Managing Director of Football, Fabio Paratici, rate the Napoli star highly.
And it bodes well for the Hammers.
Zielinski made 26 starts and nine substitute appearances in Serie A for Napoli last season, scoring six goals and providing five assists in the process.
