West Ham and Tottenham are both being linked with a move for Atalanta's Ukrainian midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi.

The 29-year-old is wanting a new challenge in his career, and is ready to leave Italy, per Calciomercato.com.

The source adds that Malinovskyi, who had a tough 2022 after being affected by the Russian invasion of his country, may want a change of scenery.

The Hammers have serious interest in the midfielder, while Spurs may also fancy him as a rotation option.

However, Spurs are said to prefer a loan, which is not what Atalanta want.

If they are to sell the player midseason, they want a significant transfer fee.
