West Ham youngster Emeka Adiele is the subject of late interest from Italian giants Juventus over a potential transfer.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 18-year-old left-back is attracting interest across Europe with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

West Ham have attempted to tie Adiele down to a new contract, but the club’s precarious league position and interest from top clubs mean he is likely to leave.<\/p>\n

Juventus Want West Ham’s Emeka Adiele<\/h2>\n

Adiele has yet to make an appearance in the senior squad, but his performances for the Under-21s have not gone unnoticed.<\/p>\n

He’s enjoyed a fine campaign so far, registering fivegoals and 10 assists in 20 appearances across various competitions, including the Premier League 2 and the EFL Trophy.<\/p>\n

An England youth international, his explosive pace and technical ability mean he’s able to play in defence or further forward.<\/p>\n

According to Pete O’Rourke, Juventus have enquired about the possibility of taking him this month, but face serious competition from Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n

By selling him this month, West Ham will guarantee a fee for his signature or risk losing him for a nominal compensation figure in the summer.<\/p>\n

Dortmund have a proven track record of signing young England internationals and developing them into top talents.<\/p>\n

Jude Bellingham is a prime example of that, while they’ve also recently signed his brother Jobe.<\/p>\n

Axel Disasi Deciding On West Ham<\/h2>\n

West Ham are expecting to be busy on deadline day as they look to bolster their squad to claw themselves away from the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are six points adrift of Nottingham Forest and are heavy 2\/5 favourites<\/a> to find themselves in the Championship next season.<\/p>\n

They’ve signed two forwards in Taty Castellanos and Pablo, while winger Adama Traore also joined from Fulham.<\/p>\n

Now Nuno wants to turn his attentions to improving a defence that has conceded 48 goals this season – more than anyone else in the top flight.<\/p>\n

Chelsea outcast Axel Disasi remains a key target<\/a> and could make the switch across London on Monday.<\/p>\n

He’s eager to leave Stamford Bridge, having failed to make an appearance this season, but remains resistant to a move due to the threat of playing Championship football next season.<\/p>\n

Former Leeds defender Charlie Cresswell was a target<\/a>, but Toulouse are not willing to sell him this month.<\/p>\n

After selling Lucas Paqueta to Flamengo, Nuno revealed he wanted to address three areas in his squad. He said: “We need to bring in a goalkeeper, a defender, and a midfielder. You cannot compete in this league when you are short on options.”<\/p>\n

Tottenham keeper Antonin Kinsky remains an option<\/a>, but their London rivals will want to bring in a backup replacement before letting him leave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
