Leicester City and West Ham United could reportedly battle for the signature of Roma midfielder Amadou Diawara during the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old was linked with a move away from his Italian club over the summer, with Arsenal believed to have considered a bid before they signed Thomas Partey from Atletico Madrid.

Diawara's future is again the subject of speculation as the winter window approaches, and according to LaRoma24.it, both Leicester and West Ham have been informed that the Serie A outfit will listen to offers in the region of €18m (£15m) at the start of 2021.

The Hammers are said to view the midfielder as a potential replacement for Declan Rice, who continues to be linked with a move to former club Chelsea.

Diawara missed four Serie A matches earlier this season due to coronavirus but has featured on seven occasions in all competitions at club level this term.

The Guinea international has a contract in the Italian capital until the summer of 2024.
