Report: Napoli interest in Hammer
According to Foot Mercato the club is eyeing a new left back and have been watching the Hammers defender/wide midfielder closely.
Should there be serious interest the Hammers would be in a strong position to get a decent price having recently extended his contract until 2024.
The report claims that Napoli have already contacted the player’s representatives to discuss the chance of him being available for the January deadline.
Masuaku has played just ten games so far this term with three of them coming since the arrival of David Moyes and it seems unlikely that the manager would be ready to let him go in this window.
It was he who turned him into the left sided midfielder that most believed him to be and he clearly believes he has more than a bit to offer the team when released of his defensive duties.
The Hammers paid around £5 million for the Olympiakos defender in 2016 and in total he has made 90 appearances in all competitions.
Were the Irons to be let him go however they would want around £10 million for the player who in turn would want a salary close to what he is earning now and with Serie A not in the same pay league that may be a snag should negotiations take place.
