West Ham United and Fulham look set for a tussle over Douglas Luiz, who will be allowed to leave Juventus.
That’s according to Gazzetta dello Sport, who say both clubs are the likeliest destinations for the Brazilian at this moment in time.
The newspaper explains that Juventus would like to finance a deal for a defender in January by selling at least one of Nicolo Fagioli and Douglas Luiz.
The first enquiries for the latter have begun to arrive from England and at the moment it is a ‘derby’ between Fulham and West Ham for him.
The market around the midfielder, who has had a torrid time in Turin since arriving from Aston Villa in the summer, has not yet started up but Juventus are confident the Premier League has not forgotten him.
There’s no mention of an asking price at this point or what Fulham and West Ham would look to pay for the midfielder, just that they appear to be his best options for now.
We’re sure Aston Villa would show interest at some point too, particularly given Monchi openly stated that he would sign him again if he could.
Either way expect his name to be regularly popping up in the coming weeks, with Juventus keen to move him on to fund their own business.
