West Ham United are reportedly set to make an offer for Denis Zakaria today.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus midfielder Denis Zakaria will be the subject of an €18 million (£15.5 million) bid from West Ham today.

However, the Serie A giants are allegedly holding out for closer to €25 million (£21.5 million).
Hammers boss David Moyes needs to add some power and athleticism to his central midfield ranks at the London Stadium in the summer transfer window, with Declan Rice set to leave the club.
And Zakaria is someone who has been linked with a move to West Ham for quite some time now.
It now seems like the Hammers are ready to pull the trigger…
Report makes Denis Zakaria bid claim as West Ham close in on Juventus midfielder
Gianluca Di Marzio reckons that the Hammers will make an offer for the 26-year-old Juve ace today.
I suspect that West Ham and Juve will probably meet somewhere in the middle and agree a fee worth around £18 million for the former Chelsea man.
In the current market, that kind of fee would be an absolute snip as far as I’m concerned.
Former BSC Young Boys coach Uli Forte labelled him as an incredible player with exceptional technical ability (Mondo Napoli).
I think that Zakaria will be a very useful addition for the Hammers, but he shouldn’t be viewed as a direct replacement for Rice.
There is plenty of transfer news knocking about at the moment regarding West Ham, but this one seems to have some real legs.
Denis Zakaria would add some much needed power and dynamism to Moyes’s central midfield department at West Ham.
And if we manage to pick him up for around £18 million, I think he’d be a very good value for money signing for the Hammers.
