West Ham United have found it difficult in the transfer market this summer, with the global pandemic hitting their transfer budget.
Winger Grady Diangana has been controversially sold to West Bromwich Albion to raise funds, though it’s still unclear whether David Moyes will have money to spend.
There have been names mentioned though, and Corriere Dello Sport reported in July that West Ham want Cagliari midfielder Nahitan Nandez.
Another player in Italy that West Ham allegedly want is Adam Ounas, with Calciomercato stating that his agent was working on a move to East London last week.
Both players could provide depth and quality to Moyes’ side, but it seems that West Ham will miss out on both players in a strange twist.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Napoli want to sign Nandez, and there has been contact about swapping him for Ounas.
Cagliari want to bring the Algerian winger in, and talks have been held about a potential swap deal that would see West Ham miss out on not one, but two targets.
West Ham fans may feel that such a deal would sum up their summer, with supporters already frustrated at the lack of activity.
