There have been rumours that West Ham United is interested in signing Torino defender Raoul Bellanova.
The 23-year-old defender has been on a roll this season, and according to a report from Tuttosport (via SportWitness), Manchester United and Aston Villa have also been monitoring the player.
It is unclear if West Ham will choose to sign the player in the summer as he is expected to cost about €25 million.
Bellanova would be a good long-term replacement for Vladimir Coufal, who will need to be replaced soon.
It is unclear where he will end up, but he is likely to be tempted if a top Premier League team calls him in the summer.
This season, the Italian defender has made five assists and one goal across all competitions, proving that he is more than capable of playing for West Ham.
Raoul Bellanova has been scouted by Man United and Aston Villa
Aston Villa, meanwhile, also needs more depth in the back, and Matty Cash and Bellanova might fight for the starting position. The West Midlands team needs a stronger, more talented roster for the upcoming campaign as they aim for European qualification.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka, a former Crystal Palace defender, has been linked to a move away from Manchester United, so if he departs the team in the summer, a suitable replacement will need to be found.
Bellanova might also be a good addition for the Old Trafford team.
The three English clubs shouldn’t have any issues with the reported €25 million valuation, and it will be interesting to see if they choose to pursue their interest with a formal offer at the end of the current campaign.
