West Ham have moved to snap up Lazio veteran Francesco Acerbi.
The 34 year-old defender is expected to leave Lazio this month.
And West Ham are in contact as manager David Moyes seeks to ease his defensive injury problems.
La Lazio Siamo Noi reports that West Ham have registered their interest in Acerbi - who, however, prefers to stay in Serie A.
Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli are also interested.
