West Ham are hopeful that a deal for Argentinian international forward Diego Milito can be agreed in the summer. The 34-year-old forward has been with his current club Inter Milan since 2009 and is out of contract in July.
The striker, who has long been regarded as one of the finest striking prospects in Europe, has always admitted that he would one day like to make a move to the Premier League. The misfiring Hammers are currently without a first striker after an injury to Andy Carroll earlier in the season. Sam Allardyce is believed to have already contacted Milito's agent regarding a bosman transfer next summer.
Inter Milan are known to be tempted to offer a new contract to the former Genoa, Zaragoza and Racing striker. According to reports, the Italian side are prepared to offer the player a one year extension, but that is is some way short of what Milito is requesting.
The striker has indicated that he would prefer a two year contract to stay at the San Siro, otherwise he will be looking to explore other opportunities elsewhere.
The 6 foot striker could also be allowed to leave in January, with a fee of 500,000 Euros seemingly enough to persuade his Serie A club to sell the striker.
