West Ham has taken action to acquire Cesena's 22-year-old Albanian international forward, Cristian Shpendi. The Premier League club faces competition for the player, as Crystal Palace has also shown interest from England, and Parma and Lazio are reportedly monitoring the player in Italy. The acquisition is considered difficult due to the number of interested clubs and a valuation of approximately 3.5 million euros. Shpendi joined Cesena in July 2021, has a contract until 2028, and has scored 10 goals with 4 assists in 32 Serie B appearances this season.
