Italian giants AC Milan and Roma are showing an interest in signing West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna.
According to Calcio Mercato, via Tribal Football, the pair are both lining up a January swoop for the central defender.
Ogbonna joined West Ham in the summer of 2015 from Juventus for a fee in the region of €11m.
He has made just over 100 appearances in all competitions for West Ham since the move and scored six goals for the club.
The 30-year-old has also been capped 13 times by Italy, although his most recent call-up was in 2016.
Calcio Mercato claims that West Ham would be willing to sell him for a fee of €5m, as they look to move him on.
Manuel Pellegrini’s preferred partnership at the back has been Issa Diop and Fabian Balbuena this season, with Ogbonna left to watch on from the sidelines.
West Ham have been touted with a loan move for Chelsea defender Gary Cahill, who could come in as Ogbonna’s replacement.
