AC Milan are closing in on West Ham United target Krzysztof Piatek, with talks with the striker's club Genoa continuing.

West Ham have made two offers to sign Piatek from Genoa, but the Rossoneri are firmly in the driving seat for the striker as they seek a replacement for Chelsea bound Gonzalo Higuain.




AC Milan are currently locked in talks with Genoa, according to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, as they try to find a deal which will please the Rossoblu.

The San Siro giants believe that Piatek, who has scored 19 times in 21 appearances for Genoa this season, is the man to fill Higuain's boots.
 


It remains to be seen whether West Ham will make a late attempt to change the course of the negotiations and send Piatek on his way to the London Stadium.

West Ham are hunting a replacement for Marko Arnautovic, who is expected to move to China.
