West Ham United have had a €35m offer for in-form forward Krzysztof Piatek turned down by Genoa, with the Italians holding out for more for their prized asset.
Piatek, who joined Il Grifone just last summer from Cracovia Krakow for €4.5m, has taken Italy by storm thus far, scoring 19 goals in 21 games across competitions. Astonishingly, nine of those goals came in his first seven league games for Genoa.
This has understandably lent him many admirers all over Europe, with AC Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea and West Ham the most interested. And, according to Alfredo Pedulla of Corriere dello Sport (via SportItalia), it is the Hammers who have struck first, with a €35m (£31m) bid for the Polish international.
