West Ham United are reportedly keen to secure a deal for Udinese forward Gerard Deulofeu during the summer transfer window.

West Ham United have reportedly identified Udinese forward Gerard Deulofeu as a potential transfer target ahead of the summer transfer window.

Despite challenging for Champions League qualification this season, the Hammers are arguably light in the final third with no direct alternative to Michail Antonio.

If reports are to be believed, that issue will be rectified later in 2022, but it also appears that David Moyes has his sights set on bringing in another versatile attacker.

According to Calciomercato, West Ham are ready to make "a concrete bid" for Deulofeu, formerly of Everton and Watford respectively.

The 27-year-old has spent a large chunk of the campaign playing down the middle of Udinese's attack, scoring eight goals from 23 appearances in Serie A.

While AC Milan are also said to be monitoring the situation, the report suggests that West Ham are the only team prepared to make an official move for the Spaniard.
