West Ham are watching Hellas Verona striker Giovanni Simeone.

Simeone has been a revelation for Verona this season, thriving under the guidance of coach Igor Tudor.

The 26 year-old has scored nine goals in ten games so far this term.

Such form has brought him to the attention of West Ham, where manager David Moyes has long wanted a natural striker.

Simeone is the son of Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone.
