West Ham in three way transfer chain
According to reports in Italy, West Ham have begun closely monitoring Torino talent Raoul Bellanova. The 23-year-old versatile defender joined the Granata from Cagliari last summer after a year on loan with Inter, sealing the move to Turin in a deal worth around €7m. He swiftly became a regular starter under Ivan Juric.
Bellanova has made 25 appearances in the Italian top flight, scoring once and providing five assists from the right wing-back position.
However, in a bizarre twist, Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is rumoured to be on the move to West Ham, with Bellanova potentially heading to Old Trafford instead of the London Stadium.

Wan-Bissaka’s time at Old Trafford since his £50 million move from Crystal Palace in 2019 hasn’t gone well to put it mildly. There were hopes that he would secure the right-back position, but injuries and a lack of progress in his attacking game have hindered his development. Now, with just one year remaining on his contract, Man Utd executives are looking to offload the right-back.
This would come as music to the ears of Hammers manager David Moyes. The Irons gaffer has wanted the former Palace man for two years so watch this space.
