West Ham have been busy in the first month of the summer transfer window and, having placed a focus on defence, are now chasing recruits in more attacking areas.

The Hammers were overly reliant on Player of the Year Marko Arnautovic last season, who scored 11 Premier League goals, and saw Javier Hernandez struggle in his return to English football.

Widespread reports indicate that Manuel Pellegrini’s side are closing in on the services of Lazio’s Felipe Anderson but he may not be the only player arriving from Italian football.

Tutto Mercato Web states that Inter Milan have offered the services of Antonio Candreva to the east London side, as they seek to offload players in order to raise funds for their own transfer activity.

The Italy international looks set to leave the San Siro and West Ham could have to go head-to-head with Monaco for the services of the 31-year-old ace.
