West Ham United will reportedly enter a transfer race with four of their Premier League rivals to sign Belgian defender Koni de Winter in January.
The 20-year-old came through the Juventus academy and made two appearances for the senior side in the Champions League last season, coming off the bench against Chelsea before starting the following fixture against Malmo.
De Winter’s contract with the Italian giants was renewed until 2026 in the summer, but the young defender has been spending the 2022/23 campaign on loan to fellow Serie A side Empoli. The Belgian has played eight games for Gil Azzuri, starting in six of them.
