Transfer interest is building around Nicola Zalewski, with West Ham understood to be weighing-up a move for the Atalanta midfielder. While there has been no official bid as yet, the club may act swiftly if they decide to pursue the deal before the transfer window slams shut. Talks are underway, and with no competition emerging, West Ham are seen as the sole contenders for the player's signature. In season 25/26, West Ham are conceding 1.96 goals per game (45 in 23 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Nicola Zalewski would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. West Ham have recently been linked with Harry Maguire, Antonin Kinsky and Yaser Asprilla while Atalanta have had no rumoured targets.
