It has been reported that West Ham United are plotting a summer transfer for Inter Milan forward Joaquin Correa.

Football Fan Cast likened the 28-year-old wideman to RB Leipzig superstar Christopher Nkunku, which sums up just how much he has to offer.

Now, a report has been relayed by Football Italia that mentions West Ham United’s interest in a transfer involving Inter Milan winger Joaquin Correa next season.

West Ham plotting summer transfer for Joaquin Correa

The Argentine has had a tough time of things at San Siro up until now, scoring a combined 9 league goals in two seasons.

In addition, the versatile forward, who is capable of operating out wide, as a striker or even in the hole has suffered with niggling injuries and as a result, he has largely been on the periphery of things.

Seeing as how things are going from bad to worse for Joaquin Correa in an Inter Milan shirt, it has been reported that West Ham are ‘big fans’ of his, and are expected to make an approach for a transfer in the summer.

Furthermore, Inter have already identified the ideal replacement for him in Bologna’s Riccardo Orsolini.

Any move West Ham make depends on their relegation status

The Irons are currently languishing in 18th place in the Premier League table, perhaps being the division’s biggest underperformers this season alongside Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

As a result, while it is all well and good that West Ham have already scouted Joaquin Correa as their ideal summer signing, any transfer involving a top player is virtually impossible if they get relegated.

With the way things are going week in, week out, things look utterly grim for David Moyes’ men at the London Stadium.

Keeping that in mind, any transfer plans will have to be put on hold if they fail to survive the drop.
