West Ham United have reportedly put Inter Milan’s Andrea Ranocchia on their transfer wishlist.
Inter Milan sporting director Stefano Pioli has suggested that he would be open to listening to offers for West Ham United target Andrea Ranocchia in the January transfer window (London Evening Standard).
West Ham are believed to be targeting the centre-back, as Slaven Bilic looks to bolster his options at the London Stadium.
The Hammers have been left short of numbers in defence, and bringing in a new centre-back is one of Bilic’s top priorities in January.
Ranocchia is believed to be one of the names on West Ham’s transfer wishlist, and Pioli’s comments suggest that a transfer could be possible.
“If he want to find more space, we will find a solution together,” Pioli said.
“He has many admirers in the Premier League.
“There are some possibilities.”
West Ham are yet to make a signing in the January transfer window, despite Bilic’s desire to add new players.
The Hammers are generally targeting players from England, but Ranocchia could be the exception.
West Ham are also hoping to complete a deal for Brentford striker Scott Hogan later this week (The Guardian).
The Hammers are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.
