Juventus reportedly had scouts in attendance at Spezia yesterday to watch Jakub Kiwior’s comeback match from the 2022 FIFA World Cup, with West Ham also interested in the Polish international.
According to Sky Italia, the Old Lady had officials at the Stadio Alberto Picco to watch the 22-year-old defender, with Juventus seemingly intensifying their interest for Kiwior this month as Spezia drew 2-2 with European chasers Atalanta.
Kiwior impressed in Qatar for Poland as the defender played every minute of the World Cup for the Bialo-czerwoni, and the youngster’s form has now seemingly caught the eye of Juventus, with Milan Live reporting that West Ham are also interested in the defender.
David Moyes is keen to sign a centre-back this month with the Hammers having one of the worst defensive records in the Premier League this season. And Kiwior could be a fine addition for the east London side as the Irons look to climb up the standings in 2023.
However, Juventus’ interest in the Pole could cause some major problems for West Ham. And given the lure the Italian giants have on Serie A giants, Kiwior could be very tempted to sign for the Turin-based side despite the glitz and glam of the Premier League.
Indeed, Juventus are eager to rehaul their squad in 2023 in seemingly very position. And Kiwior could be a fantastic new signing for Massimilano Allegri’s side given the defender’s experience already in Serie A, though West Ham could go big to lure the centre-back to England.
Juventus can’t underestimate West Ham in Kiwior race
Juventus might be one of the biggest clubs in football, but West Ham have proven in the previous transfer window that they’re no mugs to landing big-name players, which gives the Irons a solid chance at signing Kiwior in January.
The allure of the Premier League could play a major factor in the youngster’s future, and with West Ham likely to offer Kiwior more minutes than Juventus, the east London side have a real possibility of signing the defender at some point this month.
