West Ham United insider and reliable club source ExWHUemployee has now shared a potentially big Piotr Zielinski update involving the Irons' head of recruitment Rob Newman.

The Lowdown: West Ham enter talks...

As the Premier League club continue to pursue targets like Eintracht Frankfurt defender Filip Kostic, it has also been reported that manager David Moyes has set his sights on Zielinski.

The Poland international has been subject to negotiations as the Hammers enter talks with Napoli over his possible signing this summer.

West Ham have already been quite active this summer, having sealed deals for Nayef Aguerd from Rennes, Flynn Downes from Swansea City and goalkeeper Alphonse Areola from Paris-Saint Germain.

The Latest: ExWHUemployee makes Zielinski claim...

Writing on his Patreon, ExWHUemployee claims that Newman is personally attempting to get the deal for Zielinski over the line and holds a determination to complete this signing.

The West Ham insider explained: "Zielinski comes highly recommended to the club and Newman is keen to get this deal over the line."

The Verdict: Get it done?

Having been called 'exceptional' and a 'beautiful footballer' by former Poland coach Paulo Sousa, the £106,000-per-week star would certainly come to the London Stadium with a glowing reputation.

Moyes is reportedly eager to upgrade his midfield options as 'another priority', and Zielinski may also come with plenty of experience on the biggest stages, having amassed 72 caps on the international front for Poland, who he has represented in three major tournaments.

West Ham's negotiations to sign the 28-year-old will be an interesting topic before the transfer window closes on 1st September, and supporters may well be hopeful that Newman can pull off a move for the Napoli maestro.
