West Ham. Getting linked to every Italian Player

1. West Ham United midfielder Nobby Solano could be putting himself in the shop window for July's MLS Allstars clash.

Solano has attracted interest from Toronto FC already this year and told whufc.com: "We know how big the Premier League is around the world. Everyone will be looking forward to it - especially where it is, everyone loves North America, and it will be fantastic. It will be a good pre-season experience for us. It is always exciting to play in international games."

2. West Ham United are eyeing Udinese attacker Antonio di Natale.

The Italy international's agent admitted yesterday that "English interest" had moved ahead of contact from Serie A clubs, including Fiorentina.

West Ham have been following Di Natale this season and new technical chief Gianluca Nani rates the versatile striker highly.

3. Matthew Upson looks set to miss the rest of West Ham's season after failing to recover from a calf injury.

The England defender, one of 15 first-team players now sidelined, sustained the injury during last month's 4-0 defeat against Liverpool.

Upson was expected to be missing for just a week, but scans have revealed a recurrence of the problem, reports The Mirror.
