West Ham United might be looking to bring new energy to their midfield in the remaining days of the summer transfer window and have seemingly turned their attention to Italian veteran Lorenzo Pellegrini. According to a report by Sport Witness<\/a>, citing Corriere dello Sport, the 29-year-old could be ready to join the East London club. Pellegrini has made his mark in Serie A and has long played a key role for Roma. His traits and experience could give West Ham\u2019s midfield a different edge in quality.<\/p>\n

Also, the Roma Today<\/a> report claims that West Ham<\/a> are willing to pay around \u20ac5 million for this deal. Getting an established midfielder at such a low price could be an interesting deal for the Premier League club. The Hammers are currently looking for creativity in the midfield that strengthen the team for the upcoming season. Pellegrini can fill this gap with his passing ability, vision and goal-scoring ability. The Italian\u2019s presence can make the team\u2019s attack sharp and effective.<\/p>\n

Talking about his stats in 2024\/25, Pellegrini had scored two goals in 25 matches in the Serie A 2024\/2025 season. Overall, the midfielder\u2019s goals scored per 90 minutes was 0.11. Moreover, Lorenzo Pellegrini\u2019s total G\/A (goals + assists) was three for the season. His goal involvement equated to 0.17 per 90 minutes, and his Non-Penalty xG per 90 minutes equated to 0.16. Lorenzo Pellegrini\u2019s npxG output was 2.35 (stats via Footy Stats<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Would Pellegrini be the right fit for West Ham?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pellegrini\u2019s experience could prove invaluable for West Ham. He can control the game from midfield, create chances for the strikers with precise passes and even score goals when needed. The 29-year-old\u2019s leadership would be an inspiration to the younger players in the team. The arrival of such a player would give West Ham more options in attack and the ability to change the course of a game in decisive moments. This deal appears to have low risk and high potential for profit for the Hammers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
