West Ham Monitor Stefano Guberti

The agent for Ascoli midfielder Stefano Guberti’s claims that West Ham are monitoring the player's progress,

"Gianluca Nani, West Ham’s sporting director, likes Stefano very much and could fight to have him. Stefano is much demanded and Ascoli received offers from Fiorentina, and Torino and Napoli have shown their interest.

This season he stayed with Ascoli but he deserves to move to a better level next year. It is an important decision to make for his career and we will study every offer. I am due to meet with Ascoli’s directors in order to discuss it.”

Hmm, sounds like someone's trying to get a better contract.
