Lanzafame Told to Reject West Ham

The managing director of Italian club Siena, Giovanni Lombardi Stronati, has urged prospective West Ham loan signing Davide Lanzafame to reject the Irons, presumably for Siena.

“The real problem is that Lanzafame has received a resounding offer from West Ham,” Stronati says. “Here, it must be for the player to decide what is best for him – to remain in Italy and grow gradually, as I believe Siena will allow, or to earn more money immediately with major risks. Young people in Italy perhaps are convinced there will be more opportunities abroad, but that is not always the case.”
