# West Ham target Lazaro in talks with Milan duo

Inter Milan and AC Milan are both vying for Hertha Berlin midfielder-cum-defender and West Ham target Valentino Lazaro.

The Austria international has been named in the past month as a right-back target for the Hammers, with Ryan Fredericks set to spend some time on the sidelines.

Having scored two and assisted two for Berlin already this season, Manuel Pellegrini reportedly sees the 22-year old as a long-term option on the right side of defence.

However, according to Sky Sports Deutschland, as cited by [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/inter-milan-e-derby-per-lazaro-75945), Lazaro’s agent was in Milan recently to make contact with the two rival clubs, ahead of a potential January move.
