West Ham target not keen on London Stadium move

Olympic Stadium

Bologna star Simone Verdi is not pushing for a move to West Ham or any other club for that matter, it has emerged.

Verdi has impressed in the Serie A this season, chipping in with five goals and four assists so far and this has drawn attention to him from rival clubs.

The 25-year-old is reported to have been tracked by West Ham ahead of the January transfer window while Napoli and Inter Milan are other clubs that are said to be keeping tabs on his performances.

However Bologna’s Sporting director Riccardo Bigon has insisted that the player is happy where he is and is not pushing for a move.

“Simone doesn’t want to move in January and the club also don’t want to lose him,” Bigon told Sky Italia.

“We are not considering the possibility of giving him away at the moment and we want to finish the league with the same squad.”
