WEST HAM are battling AC Milan for Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski, according to reports.
The Hammers are looking to add strength and depth in the summer transfer window in all areas of the pitch.
Goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, defender Nayef Aguerd and midfielder Flynn Downes have already signed.
And boss David Moyes is looking to potentially add another midfielder, a wide player and a striker.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, West Ham have listed Napoli's Zielinski as a potential target.
However, Serie A champions Milan are also keen with the San Siro club reluctant to splash out on Club Brugge’s Charles de Ketelaere.
