Agent claims Hammers want German prospect

Savio Nsereko’s agent claims West Ham are showing interest in signing the Brescia striker.

Nsereko, the Germany U19 international, could be bought and loaned back to the Italian club, according to his representative.

“The sporting director of West Ham is Gianluca Nani, former sports director of Brescia, who knows very well the qualities of Savio,” Bastianelli told Tutto Napoli.

“We talked about Savio no more than a week ago. In those talks Gianluca confirmed his will, and that of Zola’s, to bring the player to West Ham.”

The Hammers could also sign Herita Ilunga on a permanent deal after loaning the full-back from French side Toulouse.

Ilunga’s agent, Daniel Striani, told setanta.com: “As far as Herita is concerned, he is happy to stay at the club and at the moment he is waiting for them to use their option to sign him on a permanent basis.”
