Hammer reportedly contacted to sign the impressive Serie a midfielder who once pocketed Declan Rice as Graham Potter appears to shape his West Ham United ahead of his first full season rep.
West Ham is eager to add attacks
It’s months away for Potter and his side after continuing the tough start to life at London Stadium for the former Chelsea manager. After arriving to replace the struggling Julen Lopetegui, many hoped that Potter would mark off off and ensure that the Stanford Bridge breakdown was an afterthought. But the new manager has never really come, and it’s under pressure.

Following his frustrating 14th place finish in the Premier League, just six wins in his first 20 games, Potter and West Ham need to be assured they will be taking part in the quick start next season.
It should help that be their potential job during the summer transfer period. Already, they are reportedly aiming for additional attacks such as Adama Bojang and Rome’s Tammy Abraham.

Hammers are beginning to become more aggressive in the market…
The latter became a particularly wise addition given his past Premier League experience, allowing Hammer to make a relatively routine deal following his loan at AC Milan last season.
Like West Ham, Abraham endured the last forgotten season and was able to make sure he made a comeback to the Premier League if he rediscovered his best form in his next campaign.
But it’s not just their front line that West Ham has to improve. People at London Stadium could be forced to replace David Moet Everton’s side. And what better way to trade a towering midfielder than signing a player to “shut down” former Star Rice?
According to TeamTalk, West Ham was first contacted to sign Unus Musa of AC Milan this summer. American International initially looked to the way to Serie A champion Napoli in a 25 million euro (£21 million) deal before Milan changed its stance and demanded its price and add-on. Now the hammer has the opportunity to sneak up in front of Naples.
Whether West Ham is willing to do something that Naples isn’t will be a big question, but their interest in Musa is not surprising. At the age of 22, the midfielder has had some impressive experiences under his belt at the top level, including the 2022 World Cup.
In Qatar, it was Qatar that helped the Milan men get a 0-0 draw for America, especially against the three lions against England. As a result, with the acclaim of Jacek Kulig, the scouts claimed that both Musah and Tyler Adams would “close” England’s midfield, which includes Rice and Jude Bellingham.
