West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna is a transfer target for Italian side Roma and former Premier League champions Chelsea, according to a report from David Amoyal of GianlucaDiMarzio.com.
Whilst it’s clear that West Ham won’t want to sell the Italian international, that might not stop the two sides from going after him, although it would take a monumentally high bid for the Hammers to consider selling up.
The 28-year-old was arguably the best centre-back at West Ham last season as they qualified for Europe so it’s no surprise to see other clubs interested in him.
Roma are in the market for a new defender after new signing Antonio Rudiger ruptured his ACL whilst training for Euro 2016 with Germany, whilst Chelsea are still looking for a long-term successor to John Terry.
Incoming Chelsea boss Antonio Conte worked with Ogbonna at Juventus and also included him in his Italian squad for the Euros.
