West Ham consider move for Udinese midfielder Lazar Samardzic... as Inter Milan could soften blow if Lucas Paqueta heads to Manchester City

West Ham are considering a late move for Udinese midfielder Lazar Samardzic despite the Serbia international being close to joining Inter Milan.

The 21-year-old is viewed as one of the hottest prospects in European football and is wanted by Inter.

However, personal terms between Samardzic and Inter are still to be finally agreed, with West Ham understood to be keen on entering the race.

Talks with Samardzic and Inter are expected to continue on Friday and the Hammers are waiting for news before deciding whether to formalise their interest. Samardzic would cost in the region of £22million.
