# Mauricio Isla linked with West Ham move

West Ham are being linked with a move for Juventus defender Mauricio Isla, who is also a target for Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, Cagliari and Watford.

According to Italian source Tuttosport (via the [Essex Chronicle](https://www.essexchronicle.co.uk/west-ham-join-watford-and-bayern-munich-in-midfielder-chase/story-29565053-detail/story.html)), West Ham have made an enquiry into the availability of the right-back given their lack of recognised full-backs in the squad.

Bayer Leverkusen, Cagliari and Watford are all keen on the Chile international as well, say [Tuttosport](https://www.tuttojuve.com/calciomercato/tuttosport-cagliari-isla-slitta-l-incontro-322187), while Bayern Munich are also monitoring the situation.

Following the arrival of former Barcelona star Dani Alves in Turin, Isla is almost certainly set to leave Juventus this summer, with a deal likely to be completed before the window slams shut.

The 28-year-old has Premier League experience with Queens Park Rangers having spent the 2014/15 season on loan with Rangers as they were relegated back to the Championship.

Isla spent last season on loan with Marseille but failed to impress enough to secure a permanent move.

West Ham are currently employing Michail Antonio as a make-shift right-back due to the lack of options they have and Isla would be a solid addition on a temporary or permanent basis.
