Stefano Sturaro’s agent has claimed that West Ham are among a number of clubs targeting the Juventus midfielder’s signature in the summer.

Sturaro, 25, has been on the fringes of the Juventus squad over recent seasons, making just seven starts in Serie A last term.

However even a role on the fringes of the Bianconeri squad has been enough to earn Sturaro four Italy caps and a string of suitors across the continent, according to his representative Carlo Volpi.

“There are several offers on Juve’s table to evaluate,” Volpi told Juvenews. “Anything can happen in football, because there are in fact many offers.

“There’s not only the big clubs West Ham and Leicester, but at least four other clubs interested in my client, who doesn’t have a preferred destination.

“We’re just waiting for a decision by the Bianconeri.”

Sturaro is among a string of squad players expected to depart Juventus after the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid earlier in the transfer window. The likes of Stephan Lichtsteiner, Kwadwo Asamoah and Gianluigi Buffon have also left.
