Emerson Palmieri transfer: Will Juventus accept West Ham's swap offer for Nicolo Fagioli?
Palmieri has not always been the most consistent player in his time in the Premier League, but he has shown moments of quality, and one imagines he could be a tempting option for Juventus to consider.
If Faggioli is not in Juve's plans, it might make sense for them to try to offload him next January and perhaps bolster their depth in defense while they are at it.
West Ham need to improve in a number of areas after a poor start to the season under Julen Lopetegui, who replaced David Moyes in the summer.
It increasingly looks like it was the wrong choice to employ the Spaniard after Moyes did such a solid job with the east London side, but perhaps a good January window could turn things around.
