Report Fiorentina open talks to sign West Ham duo

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Fiorentina have opened talks with West Ham to sign Kyle Walker-Peters and Soungoutou Magassa.

Fiorentina look to West Ham for reinforcement in midfield and on the wings. Gazzetta reports that the Tuscans have contacted West Ham directors to sound out the availability of Walker-Peters and Magassa.

Walker-Peters, 28, has scored one goal and provided one assist in 18 appearances across all competitions this season and can be deployed as a right-back or as a left-back, adding depth to a Fiorentina team that has recently switched to a four-man defence.

Magassa, 22, has also scored one goal and provided one assist, but in just 15 appearances. The Frenchman has played just 808 minutes across all competitions this term, and Fiorentina could use him as a central midfielder or as a centre-back.

Fiorentina are currently in the relegation zone in Serie A, but just one point below safety.

The Tuscans have already signed Marco Brescianini, Manor Solomon, Giovanni Fabbian and Jack Harrison in the January transfer window.
