Argentinian striker linked with Hammers
The report on the Brazilian football website Lance.com.br says: “Calleri, is closer to move to England than Italy. Adding that the group of investors who own the rights to the striker are negotiating to move him to English football, more precisely at West Ham. The negotiations are at an advanced stage although there is a supposed agreement with Inter Milan. His preference is for Italian football. His family has roots are in the Latin country and the striker believes that is where his style of play can develop better”
Calleri should be granted an Italian passport this summer – he qualifies via his grandparents – which will mean he can move to the Premier League without any need for a work permit. He would be unlikely to get a work permit on other grounds as he is yet to be capped at full level by Argentina.
It should come as no surprise that Spurs have also been linked with the 22 year player with Mauricio Pochettino recommending him to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy. The striker was previously linked with West Ham in the January transfer window.
