West Ham lining up £10m deal for frustrated AC Milan star

West Ham are eyeing a £10m move for AC Milan forward Stephan El Shaarawy, according to reports in the Brentwood Gazette.

Currently on loan with French side Monaco, the 22-year old has recently been touted as a potential target for fellow Premier League side Bournemouth.

The Italian international has struggled to cement a place at the Stade Louis. II after seeing his career stall towards his latter stages at the San Siro.

However, he remains a hugely exciting talent and an attractive target to many teams around the continent.

Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is understood to be monitoring his progress with a view to strengthening his wide options.

Victor Moses has impressed during his time at Upton Park, though is due to return to parent club Chelsea at the end of the season.

Reports suggest any move for El Shaarawy would more than likely initially be a loan spell, before making a £10m switch after its completion.
