Report: Cagliari knocked back West Ham United’s loan bid for Giovanni Simeone

West Ham United sold Ivory Coast international striker Sebastien Haller to Ajax last month and were linked with a lot of strikers as they sought for a replacement. However, the Hammers could only bring in attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard on loan from Manchester United during the winter transfer window. David Moyes’ side will continue the rest of the campaign with Michail Antonio as their only natural striker, and it will be interesting to see whether that will be enough to fire them into Europe. One of the strikers linked with West Ham last month was Cagliari’s Giovanni Simeone, and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has shared why a move fell through.
