Sampdoria striker Luis Muriel in West Ham sights

West Ham United have reportedly been alerted to Sampdoria striker Luis Muriel.

The Daily Mirror is reporting that the Hammers have added the Colombian striker to their summer hit-list.

Muriel, 25, has scored 10 goals and provided nine assists for Samp this season.

It is understood that the former Udinese star has a release clause of £24million.

The East London club is in the market for a new attacker in the summer transfer window and are now being linked with a possible move for the in-demand Muriel, who insists he is happy at the Genoa-based outfit.

“The future? I'm happy at Sampdoria, because we've won two derbies [against their city rivals Genoa] for the first time in 57 years," he said.

“I've had several offers from Juventus, Inter, Milan and Roma in Italy, but also from abroad — in Spain and England."
