West Ham are reportedly in the hunt to sign AC Milan striker Fabio Borini this summer – and fans have taken to Twitter to deliver an emphatic thumbs-down.
The Italian transfer site Calcio Mercato claim the Hammers are keen to land the former Liverpool, Sunderland and Chelsea forward even though he has just converted a loan to Milan into a permanent move.
It is said that West Ham are closely monitoring Borini’s situation but face competition from Napoli, whose new manager Carlo Ancelotti knows the player from their Chelsea days.
The Italy international was a mainstay for Milan in the recently completed domestic season, netting five goals and supplying seven assists from 44 matches in all competitions.
West Ham fans have taken to social media to criticise the striker link, claiming he struggled in the Premier League and lacks the quality needed to spearhead their attack next season.
Forever West Ham has rounded up some of the best tweets:
