According to Sky Sport Italia, West Ham is showing strong interest in Genoa’s standout player, Albert Gudmundsson. However, despite their genuine pursuit, Genoa is unwilling to part ways with the Icelandic star. This reluctance follows their recent transfer of Radu Dragusin to Tottenham.

Reports suggest that West Ham has made a concrete approach to secure Gudmundsson during the January transfer window. Yet, Genoa didn’t entertain the offer from East London due to their commitment to the just-agreed sale of Dragusin.

The 21-year-old defender is on the brink of finalizing a €31 million move and departed from Genoa’s airport on Wednesday morning for his medical in North London.

Gudmundsson stands as Genoa’s top scorer this season, boasting ten goals and three assists in 19 Serie A matches. His exceptional performances earned him a spot in Opta’s best XI for the season’s initial phase.

Despite West Ham’s interest, the 26-year-old recently extended his contract with Genoa, securing his stay at Stadio Ferraris until June 2027.
