AC Milan skipper Massimo Ambrosini is a possible transfer target for West Ham United, according to his agent, Moreno Roggi. The 35-year-old is out of contract next month and had initially planned to see out his career at the San Siro.

However, he is believed to be tempted by the prospect of ending his 18-year stay at Milan to try his hand in the Premier League.

Roggi said: "There is interest from West Ham and it's a real interest, like that of other English, German and American teams, although there have not been concrete contacts.

"But, like every year, the first thing Massimo will do at the end of the season is speak with Adriano Galliani (AC Milan CEO)."
