West Ham battle Roma for Bologna midfielder Jerdy Schouten | OneFootball

Bologna midfielder Jerdy Schouten is being watched by West Ham.

Hammers scouts have watched the 25-year-old extensively this season and have been impressed by the Dutchman's performances.

David Moyes will look to strengthen his squad this summer as he looks to keep pace with West Ham's rivals at the top of the Premier League following another good season under his tutelage.

Schouten is also interesting a number of clubs in Italy; Roma - managed by Jose Mourinho - and Napoli are among the teams also interested in the midfielder.

But West Ham are maneuvering themselves into a position to strike for Schouten this summer, says the Daily Mail.

With captain Mark Noble retiring, the Hammers are on the look out for fresh legs in central midfield ahead of next season.
