West Ham set to miss out on Franco Vazquez
West Ham, Tottenham, Watford and West Brom all appear have been defeated by AC Milan in the race to sign Palermo attacker Franco Vazquez this summer.
According to reports in Italy, the Serie A giants are set to sign the attacking midfielder in a deal worth €25m which meets Palermo’s asking price.
Palermo had already turned down one offer of €15m this summer from West Brom, stating that they will not sell Vazquez for a penny less than their asking price.
West Ham and Tottenham have also registered interest in signing the 27-year-old this summer who has won two caps for Italy after switching allegiance from Argentina where he was born.
However, they all appear to have lost out to AC Milan who will sign Vazquez after a stunning season in Serie A scoring eight goals and recording six assists from attacking midfield.
Vazquez becomes one of an ever-growing number of players West Ham have missed out on signing this summer, with the most crushing of the lot occurring in the last 24 hours.
It’s believed that Michy Batshuayi will sign a five-year deal with Chelsea after the Blues agreed a £33.2m deal with Marseille for the Belgian international striker.
