# West Ham: Sky journalist has Angelino ‘news’ for supporters

**[West Ham United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/) are also in the mix to sign RB Leipzig full-back Angelino this summer amid their plethora of summer transfer activity.**

### The Lowdown: Hammers in talks…

The east Londoners, as they gear up for what is a tough [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) opener against English champions Man City this weekend, are reportedly adopting a scattergun approach as they hold talks for many different players.

Amadou Onana (Lille) and Filip Kostic (Eintracht Frankfurt) [remain at the forefront](https://www.londonworld.com/sport/football/west-ham/west-ham-still-working-on-moves-for-two-players-as-they-prepare-for-manchester-city-clash-3789545) of West Ham’s thinking as manager David Moyes attempts moves for both players.

Meanwhile, Burnley star Maxwell Cornet has also [been heavily linked](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11075047/West-Ham-reignite-Burnley-winger-Cornet-growing-frustrated-Kostic-chase.html) over this last 48 hours with Irons supporters witnessing a potentially busy window.

### The Latest: West Ham in the mix for Angelino…

Despite all of these attempts, it appears West Ham are still also in the mix for ex-City player Angelino as per Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg.

He explains that the Hammers are following RB’s defender alongside a host of other sides. Plettenberg [stated:](https://twitter.com/Plettigoal/status/1554380623028043777)

*“News #Angelino: Brighton is interested! Could become very interesting if #Cucurella will sign at #CFC. Would be a great replacement. West Ham follows his situation as well. Hoffenheim hopes for a big scoop via loan.”*

### The Verdict: Solid target?

Angelino has been known to excel going forward and has even been revered for his [‘absolutely sensational’](https://twitter.com/Buntingfootball/status/1519779289633366017) technique in front of goal by members of the media.

The Spaniard’s former coach Stijn Vreven certainly cannot speak highly enough of him, branding Angelino ‘unusual’ and a ‘little bit special in everything’ – going on to say the player also has ‘something extra, a brilliant left-foot, fantastic crosses and excellent at free-kicks’ [(First Time Finish).](https://firsttimefinish.co.uk/2021/03/10/the-inside-story-of-angelino-from-manchester-city-rb-leipzig/)

Going by these tags, it’s clear as day why West Ham have inserted themselves into the picture.
