# Sassuolo beat West Ham to Cesena winger Antonino Ragusa

Sassuolo have agreed a deal with Cesena to sign West Ham target Antonino Ragusa according to SportItalia (h/t [Football Italia](https://www.football-italia.net/90317/sassuolo-strike-ragusa-deal)).

According to [Alfredo Pedulla](https://www.alfredopedulla.com/esclusiva-ragusa-ce-west-ham-la-sinergia-sassuolo-spezia/), West Ham were interested in signing the talented winger but the Serie A outfit have beaten them to a €2.5m deal.

West Ham have been impressed with the winger, after a number of eye-catching displays in Italy for Serie B side Cesena in recent months.

The 26-year-old forward scored eight goals and registered seven assists in Serie B last season, which is not the most impressive statistics you will ever find, but West Ham have certainly seen something in him they like.

West Ham do currently have a number of attacking midfield and wide options, but Slaven Bilic feels that he needs more depth. This could be because of a potential Europa League group campaign if they are able to brush past Astra in the second-leg of their play-off match.
