West Ham United face competition from Barcelona, AC Milan to sign Jakub Kiwior
West Ham United are set to face competition from three big European clubs for the signing of Spezia centre-back Jakub Kiwior, according to Calciomercato.
The Hammers have been interested in signing the 22-year-old and failed in an attempt to bring him to the club in the summer transfer window.
As per the latest report, the Irons are now facing competition from Barcelona, AC Milan and AS Roma. It is further reported that the player likes the idea of moving to England.
Important
West Ham have been going through a transitional phase in the ongoing campaign where they made a number of additions in the summer to bolster different areas of the squad.
Out of the eight players who came to London Stadium, two of them were centre-backs and their signing made it clear that Moyes was aware of the problems at the back.
With Craig Dawson’s contract situation remaining uncertain, it is important that the Hammers must make a move to sign someone like Kiwior.
The 22-year-old can be an excellent acquisition because he is not only young but has ample amount of experience of playing at the top level and already has four national team caps.
Kiwior has been a Spezia player since the summer of 2021 when he moved from MSK Zilina in a deal worth £1.98 million.
Since then, he has represented his current club in 33 matches across all competitions, including 10 in the ongoing season [Transfermarkt].
