West Ham United have just been linked with a shock move to sign Paulo Dybala this summer.
According to a report from Italian outlet Il Messaggero, Roma forward Paulo Dybala is on the radar of West Ham in the summer transfer window, but we could face competition from Tottenham and Manchester United for his signature.

Hammers boss David Moyes will be keen to bolster his attacking ranks at the London Stadium this summer.
The transfer news has been coming thick and fast already this month, and the latest rumour really is one of the most unbelievable ones yet.
If reports in Italy are to be believed, West Ham are eyeing up a move to sign a very special player indeed…
Shock report makes big claim about Paulo Dybala that will have West Ham fans bemused
Il Messaggero reckon that the Hammers want to sign the 2022 World Cup winner in the summer transfer window.
There are a few things to dissect here. Firstly, Dybala was an elite young talent when he came through the ranks at Palermo and then on into his early years with Juventus.
However, his form has fallen off a cliff over the last couple of years and he just doesn’t seem to be the player he once was.
Secondly, Dybala is 29 – 30 later this year – something that makes him completely unsuitable to Moyes’s plan to build a young and hungry squad at the London Stadium.
And thirdly, he earns a whopping £138k-a-week at Roma (Salary Sport). He will undoubtedly demand more than that to move to the Premier League as well.
I just can’t see Paulo Dybala joining West Ham this summer. Maybe he’ll join Manchester United or Tottenham but I don’t believe he’ll be open to plying his trade at the London Stadium.
And that’s nothing to be disappointed about. There are plenty of young and hungry attackers out there available this summer.
Let’s just hope that David Moyes makes the correct transfer decisions.
