West Ham United defender Angelo Ogbonna has reportedly attracted interest from two Italian clubs over a potential January move.
Reports from Diretta Goal have claimed that two sides in Italy, Serie A side Lecce and Frosinone from the Italian second division, are both keen on signing Ogbonna, who has made 212 appearances for the Hammers since joining them from Juventus in the summer of 2015.
Ogbonna's contract is due to expire in the summer and while he has made ten appearances this season, seven of those have come in the Europa Conference League, only playing twice in the Premier League as a substitute against Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.

With his contract due to expire at the end of the season and him falling under the likes of Kurt Zouma, Craig Dawson, Thilo Kehrer, and Nayef Aguerd in the centre-back ranks, he may be open to a return to his native Italy after spending seven years outside of his homeland.
Lecce are currently fighting to stay in Serie A and are six points clear of the relegation zone and Frosinone are currently five points clear at the top of Serie B.
A move to Frosinone would make sense, with the Serie B side located in the Lazio region of Italy, nearby his hometown of Cassino.
Prior to joining West Ham, Ogbonna made 243 appearances in Italy at club level, representing Torino, Crotone, and Juventus. Ogbonna has also made 13 appearances for the Italian national side.
