West Ham Scout Italian Duo

Sky Sports are reporting that West Ham are interested in two young players currently plying their trade in Italy. The players are Ayub Daud of Juventus and Andrea Mei of Inter Milan.

Daud has yet to sign a professional contract with Juventus and is presumably just entering into negotiations with the club. The source of West Ham's interest is Daud's agent Ulisse Savini.

"About West Ham, this situation is this - I am linked with the sporting director Nani, they have told they are interested in Daud and in Inter defender Andrea Mei"

Savini of course has no interest in making Juve think that another club are also eager to sign his player, especially when he is just about to enter negotiations with the club.

(I wonder if Sky get any commission on helping to broker these deals - if not they should.)
