West Ham United join Fabio Borini race

West Ham United have become the latest club to be interested in Liverpool outcast Fabio Borini, according to reports.

The one-time Italy international is deemed surplus to requirements at the Reds, following the arrivals of the likes of Roberto Firmino, Christian Benteke and Danny Ings this summer.

According to The Mirror, Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is keen on signing the former Chelsea graduate on a temporary basis, with strike duo Andy Caroll and Enner Valencia are currently out injured.

However, they face competition from Fiorentina, who are confident of sealing a season-long loan deal for the 24-year-old.
