West Ham are interested in signing Inter Milan midfielder Luis Jimenez.

Chilean Jimenez a target for Nani and Zola

West Ham United have confirmed Inter Milan midfielder Luis Jimenez is one of the club's primary transfer targets over the summer. Hammers technical director Gianluca Nani, who oversees transfer policy at Upton Park, admits Chile international Jimenez is in his thoughts. The 24-year-old has long-since been linked with a switch to the Hammers and Nani, who moved to East London from Brescia last year, is of the opinion the player could be a good acquisition to Gianfranco Zola's squad. "We have a coach who likes to play football on the ground and Jimenez is a great player," Nani told FC Inter News. "He is currently an Inter player, but we still have two months left in the market. "I like him very much - I wanted him to come to Brescia years ago."
