Hammers To Beat Juve To Free Agent Appiah?

Stephen Appiah could make a shock move to Premier League club West Ham United on Tuesday, despite the Ghanaian International being heavily linked with a move back to former team Juventus, according to reports in Italy.

27-year-old Appiah is a free agent after successfully negotiating his way out of his contract with Turkish side Fenerbahce recently. Which means the midfielder is free to join any club, despite the transfer window closing.

Since that happened Appiah has been linked with teams across Europe, but the Ghana captain has made no secret of his desire to rejoin La Vecchia Signora, who he left in 2005 for the Turkish side.

Juve coach Claudio Ranieri isstill searching for a central-midfielder, despite the signing of Christian Poulsen from Sevilla earlier in the summer, with reports suggesting that Juventus are still following the Ghanaian, along with rival Turin team Torino.

However, the Italian press is now claiming that Appiah is due to make the switch to Upton Park and could even find himself a Premier League player by the end of Tuesday.

One of the factor’s said to have influenced Appiah is the Hammers sporting director Gianluca Nani, who has worked with Appiah before at Brescia.
