Spezia stuck in World Cup dilemma as West Ham United submit bid for Jakub Kiwior
West Ham United have made their first move to sign Spezia defender Jakub Kiwior, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Sky Sports journalist and his team has reported that the Irons have made a £10million bid which has left the Italian side with a dilemma on their hands.
Spezia are looking into the offer on the table and whether to sell now or wait until after the World Cup where Kiwior could feature for Poland over in Qatar.
Competition is said to be high though.
AC Milan are another club who have made contact over the young enforcer, asking to be kept informed, although a move is said to be more likely there in January or even next summer.
That is if West Ham do that get their way.
David Moyes is targeting defensive reinforcements with his side going through an injury crisis, and Kiwior can play both in the heart of defence or in holding midfield – handy.
Dilemma.
West Ham United will be hoping they can get a deal over the line as quickly as possible.
However, Spezia do have every right to wait for the World Cup given that the value of Kiwior could skyrocket should he get called up and shine with the Polish.
Moyes doesn’t have the luxury of time on his side though and needs players who can come in and make a difference instantly in the Premier League.
Nayef Aguerd, Angelo Ogbonna and Craig Dawson all have injury issues, leaving Kurt Zouma as the only fit senior option, and even he is prone to injuries.
Ben Johnson is currently set to start their against Nottingham Forest and that is far from ideal.
Kiwior would come in and play at the back to start with, but his versatility could kill two birds with one stone with the ability to also play in midfield with that area also being targeted.
This is certainly one to keep an eye on now.
