Pants! Irons target Pantilimon wants move to Italy

Reported West Ham target Costel Pantilimon has told Italian newspaper La Nazione that a move to Serie A would be a 'dream,' amid reported interest from Fiorentina.

The Hammers were linked with the giant Manchester City goalkeeper in March and the Romania international earlier this month stated his desire to leave the Etihad Stadium.

However, Pantilimon seems to be very much more geared towards a move to Italy, and praised what the club had done for his former City teammates David Pizarro and Stefan Savic.

"Getting in Serie A would be a dream and some national teammates spoke well about Florence. Let me say that I am happy that two players like Pizarro and Savic found their feet in Fiorentina. I met them here in City and here they were on the fringes whereas now they are at the centre of a project."
