West Ham keen on signing Inter Milan attacker Martin Satriano – report
West Ham are reportedly among the many clubs tracking Inter Milan youngster Martin Satriano.
According to The Daily Mail, the Uruguayan has emerged as a transfer target for a number of Premier League sides including Everton, Tottenham and Arsenal.
The 20-year-old has impressed at the youth level for both club and country and has put himself in contention for a move to the Premier League.
Inter Milan have their own financial worries and could look to part ways with the highly sought-after youngster.
One for the future
Our recent recruitment under David Moyes has been pretty exemplary. We’ve signed players, some of whom have been relative unknowns, for really good money.
The club have been tracking Soriano this past season and are likely to be left impressed by what they’ve seen.
In 25 games for Inter at Primavera 1 level, the striker has scored 14 goals and provided eight assists in the 2020/21 campaign.
He was also voted the best forward in his division – proving himself to be a shining star at a very young age.
Despite not having made a senior appearance at Inter, he’s held in high regard by the club hierarchy and has also been named as part of the matchday squad for three Serie A matches last season.
Inter signed the player from Nacional in his native Uruguay last January, but could be compelled to let go of him due to their financial difficulties.
While we are looking for a striker this summer, Satriano is not the player to address our goal-scoring woes.
He will certainly be a good option for the future and should be considered, but not at the expense of us signing someone who’s a proven first-team player that can get us 20 league goals every season.
We’re also unsure how much the player will cost, and given today’s market value for wonderkids, he could fetch an astronomical transfer fee.
