Juve-Target Appiah To Join West Ham Today?

Appiah is currently a free agent after he negotiated an exit from Fenerbahce a couple of weeks ago.

Since then the 27-year-old has been linked with a whole host of clubs in Italy, England, Spain and Scotland, but he has made no secret of his desire to rejoin Juventus, who he represented from 2003 to 2005, before joining Fenerbahce for €8m.

There have since been reports in the press that a deal is imminent, especially because Juventus are looking to sign a centre midfielder.

The summer transfer window shut last night, but because Appiah is a free agent he is still permitted to find himself a new club.

According to reports in Italy, the Ghanaian, despite still being followed by Juventus, as well as Torino, could in fact be set to join Premiership side West Ham. Indeed the transfer could be sealed by the end of today.

A key player in negotiations is believed to be West Ham’s sporting and football technical director Gianluca Nani, who previously worked at Appiah’s old club in Italy, Brescia.
