London West Ham, whose interest in the Ukrainian midfielder of the Italian Atalanta Ruslan Malinovsky has already been reported, is now the main contender for the 29-year-old football player, according to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs.
According to the source, the head coach of the Hammers, David Moyes, is already in direct contact with Malinovsky, urging him to join his team.
At the same time, another London club, Tottenham, to which the Ukrainian is also interested, and which has recently been considered the favorite in the fight for Malinovsky, has not yet taken any specific negotiation actions either with the player himself or with Atalanta.
We add that in addition to West Ham and Tottenham, Malinovsky is interesting to the English Nottingham Forest and the French Marseille. True, the last two clubs expect to take the Ukrainian midfielder on loan, while Atalanta is set up exclusively for a full-fledged transfer with a compensation amount of 16-18 million euros.
