Saturday news (includes West Ham)

[HAMMERAMA]

Have a look at the under21s last night and have a look at Scarles. It looks like he's beefed up and made a big impact on that game from central midfield and left back.

Give Me Sport Ipswich, Wolves and West Ham 'Make Contact' for Ahmedhodzic Sheffield United defender Anel Ahmedhodzic suffered the ignominy of relegation from the Premier League in his first season in the top-flight as the Blades went down without a trace - but he could have a second go at the division with reports suggesting that West Ham United, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Ipswich Town have all made contact over his signing. The Bosnia international, who was born in Sweden, enjoyed a fruitful first season at Bramall Lane with six goals in the Championship, with his efforts sending the Blades up with ease under Paul Heckingbottom. However, a terrible start to proceedings saw them flounder throughout the campaign and relegation was confirmed in late April. But Ahmedhodzic could have a second bite at the cherry with three clubs interested in his services. Premier League Trio Interested in Ahmedhodzic The defender is not short of Premier League suitors The report from HITC states that West Ham and Wolves have held talks with Ahmedhodzic, who has been described as ""outstanding"", over a potential move to the Premier League - but newcomers Ipswich are confident in winning the race to secure his signature. Wolves are in desperate need of a centre-back having seen captain Max Kilman depart for West Ham earlier in the window, and though they have also been touted with a move for Burnley star Dara O'Shea, they have also held talks with Ahmedhodzic over a potential switch back to the top-flight after his side suffered relegation last season. West Ham have also held talks, though Kilman and Jean-Clair Todibo have both made the move to the London Stadium, which means that starting spots could be hard to come by for Ahmedhodzic. C&H Swap Deal with Juventus Looks Like Bad Move West Ham United are reportedly considering a swap deal with Juventus to acquire Italian midfielder Manuel Locatelli according to Tutto Juve. The Hammers are keen to strengthen their midfield and believe Locatelli would be a valuable addition. Juventus, in need of a left-back, could be interested in Emerson Palmieri. Juventus have been in need of a left-back ever since Alex Sandro lost his form two seasons ago. Emerson could be a good short-term solution while they look to balance their books and pursue a younger quality left-back in the future. A swap deal involving Locatelli and Emerson would be a bad move in my opinion, with only days remaining in the transfer window, the Hammers would be left with only Aaron Cresswell as left back ."
