West Ham have been named among the clubs ‘exploring the option’ of signing Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne.

The 30-year-old Italian is believed to be attracting interest from the Hammers, Inter Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United.

Club captain and legend in Naples, Insigne could be about to part ways from Gli Azzurri and end a 15-year association with the club.

That’s according to reputable Italian outlet Calciomercato, as cited by Football Fuel on Twitter.

The report claims all four clubs are keen on signing the 53-cap star at the end of this season.

Once hailed as ‘excellent’ by Ray Parlour, Insigne has amassed 205 direct goal contributions in 414 appearances for Napoli – lifting three major domestic trophies in the process.

So far this season the ace has scored five times and provided six assists in 6 outings.

READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Still holding a market value of £43.2million despite being out of contract in 2022 (Transfermarkt), Insigne would be an outstanding acquisition for any club as a free agent.

However, primarily operating from the left-hand side, David Moyes would perhaps be reticent to add further competition in a well-stocked department.

Boasting a remarkable array of attacking attributes and still a top performer at the elite level, Insigne would likely demand a leading role ahead of Said Benrahma and Pablo Fornals.

For that reason, despite the potential glamour signing, perhaps the Irons would be best served to focus attention elsewhere.

Should West Ham Sign Lorenzo Insigne?
