West Ham United have been linked with a move for Juventus defender Marco Motta.
The 27-year-old has fallen out of favour in Turin and is understood to have attracted interest from the Irons and Werder Bremen.
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has prioritised the attack but would be keen to bring in another defender to help their survival bid.
