West Ham target Amalfitano likely to leave Marseille

Morgan Amalfitano, a transfer target for the Hammers according to TalkSport, has said today that there's a good chance he could leave his club before the transfer deadline on Thursday. The 27 year old, who plays as a wide midfielde but can also play in an attacking role or in central midfield, is also reportedly being tracked by Reading, who may up their chase of him after seeing a bid for Blackpool ace Tom Ince knocked back by the Championship club. Amalfitano made his international debut for France in February of last year but is reportedly unhappy at Marseille and handed in a transfer request at the end of last season. The Irons have noticeably been lacking firepower through the centre of midfield in recent games so now could be the time to pounce, with the Frenchman telling France Football today that "there is a likelihood of a possible departure- you never know what football holds."
