Bologna fullback Adam Masina is attracting Premier League interest.
The Sun says West Ham and Crystal Palace are going head-to-head for Masina.
Both Premier League sides are chasing a left-back this window and have identified the 24-year-old who is keen to try his luck in England.
Bologna have rejected bids from the London club's as they are nowhere near the Italian outfit's £15million valuation.
The 6ft 3in Moroccan-born star is highly rated in Italy and regarded as one of the best defenders this term in Serie A.
