Leicester City’s bid to secure the services of Matias Soulé has been disrupted by new interest from West Ham, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport.
The 21-year-old excelled during a loan stint with Frosinone Calcio despite the club being relegated to Serie B, scoring 11 goals and registering a further three assists throughout his 36 appearances for the club.

Di Marzio understand that the player has agreed personal terms with Roma, but the battle has now developed into a three-way fight for his signature as Julen Lopetegui’s West Ham enter the race.
Teun Koopmeiners is expected to join Juventus from Atalanta once Soulé’s exit has been finalised.
