West Ham are reportedly keen on signing Udinese attacking midfielder Gerard Deulofeu.
The Hammers have been extensively linked with the 28-year-old in recent weeks and the interest appears to have stepped up.
Boasting previous Premier League experience from spells with Watford and Everton, the Spaniard would have no problem adapting to life as an Iron.
According to a report from journalist Nico Schira, as cited by West Ham News & Views on Twitter, David Moyes is extremely keen on Deulofeu.
West Ham are really interested in signing Udinese midfielder Gerard Deulofeu this summer.
The Hammers had a scout in attendance during Udinese's 2-1 loss to Napoli last week. The 28 year old scored in that game.

Schira claims that West Ham are ‘really interested’ in signing the four-cap Spain ace amidst interest elsewhere from Sevilla and Real Betis.
So far this season the ex-Barcelona youngster – previously hailed an ‘enormous talent’ by Roberto Martinez – has scored nine times and provided two assists in 26 appearances across all competitions.

Valued at £9million and under contract in Italy until 2024 (Transfermarkt), it won’t be easy to land the Spaniard this summer.
However, it’s clear to see why Moyes would be been given the calibre of player, current form and the lack of impact made by Nikola Vlasic in a similar role.
At the right price and salary, adding Deulofeu to the London Stadium squad would be a no brainer for the Hammers.
