Exclusive: Renowned Journalist Fabrizio Romano confirms West Ham have made approach to sign Juventus Midfielder this summer as Hammers open talks with Serie A side
West Ham United reportedly could sign Denis Zakaria after he left Chelsea to return to his parent club Juventus.
According to Fabrizio Romano, West Ham are one of the clubs who are keen to prise Denis Zakaria away from Juventus in the summer transfer window.
The East London outfit were actually linked with a move to sign the 26-year-old midfielder in January, but he ended up seeing out his loan spell with Chelsea.
West Ham United allegedly want to sign Denis Zakaria in the summer transfer window. Juventus are allegedly demanding around £30 million for Zakaria (The Daily Mail).
With Declan Rice set to leave the Hammers, David Moyes needs to bring in a top-class central midfielder to help fill the void left behind by the 24-year-old.
And it seems as though the Juve star could be just the man for the job for Moyes…
Fabrizio Romano claims West Ham could sign Denis Zakaria after his Chelsea exit
It seems as though the Switzerland international could leave the Turin giants in the summer transfer window, but this time move to East London rather than West London.
Fabrizio Romano took to Twitter to provide an update on Denis Zakaria’s current situation after he left Stamford Bridge:
Zakaria is a defensive midfielder by trade but crucially as far as West Ham are concerned, he can play in the centre-back position as as well.
The Swiss international is incredibly dynamic and energetic. He is a tenacious tackler and has the kind of physicality needed to succeed in the Premier League.
If he was given a regular run of games by David Moyes at the London Stadium, I’m certain that he would prove his true worth. His struggles with Chelsea were well documented, but I believe he just needs to play regular football in order for everyone to see just how good he is.
And if West Ham sign Denis Zakaria this summer, I believe he would be a very good addition to Moyes’s ranks at the London Stadium.
