Serie A side Sassuolo have joined West Ham and Everton in the race to sign striker Khouma Babacar from Fiorentina this summer, according to reputable Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.
West Ham have identified Babacar as the ‘Plan B’ should they fail to sign Carlos Bacca from AC Milan who’s set to hold talks with the East London club early next week over a £25.7m move.
The 23-year-old netted seven times in 24 appearances for Fiorentina last season and has three years left to run on his current contract at the club having been there since he was 15.
Babacar is wanted by both West Ham, Middlesbrough and Everton and his agent flew to England yesterday to hold talks with representatives of all three clubs over the weekend.
Sassuolo have also held talks with Babacar’s agent over a possible move to remain in Italian football as it grows increasingly likely that the striker will leave Fiorentina this summer.
It’s believed la Viola will allow Babacar to leave the club this summer should the receive an offer of around €12m (£10m) for his services.
