Report: Another striker linked

West Ham are now said to be considering a swoop to sign Giovanni Simeone from Hellas Verona, according to a new report in Italy.

The Irons are aiming to bring a new striker into the club this summer.

David Moyes wants Armando Broja from Chelsea and talks have also been opened with Sassuolo over a deal for Gianluca Scamacca.

But Calciomercato now claims the Irons are also lining up a potential swoop to sign Simeone.

He spent last season on loan at Hellas Verona from Cagliari and that deal has been made permanent this summer, with his new club now considering making an immediate profit on their new striker.

Simeone scored 17 goals in 35 games last season and he would cost in the region of £17m in this transfer window.

The Irons are currently looking at other options, so we can’t say that this one makes all that much sense at this point in the window, but it could be returned to if neither Broja or Scamacca end up at the London Stadium.
