Genoa line up replacement for Hammers target Laxalt

Serie A outfit Genoa are lining up a move to replace versatile midfielder and West Ham target Diego Laxalt, according to reports.

The 25-year old wide midfielder, who can also play left-back, impressed for Uruguay during the World Cup in Russia this summer, and has attracted a number of interested parties.

As well as West Ham, Everton and Bournemouth are said to have held an interest in Laxalt, who joined Genoa permanently from Inter Milan two years ago.

According to Calciomercato, Genoa are now resigned to the fact that they may lose Laxalt during this transfer window, and are now eyeing a replacement.

Milan left-back Luca Antonelli is believed to be high on their radar, with the club understanding that the Rossoneri are likely to let the Italian leave for a relatively low fee.
