The agent of Mattia Destro reportedly touched down in London over the weekend to hold talks with West Ham United regarding a proposed transfer for the Roma striker.
The 24-year-old, who has previously been linked to Chelsea and Arsenal, is believed to have been given permission by Roma to look for a new club.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Destro's representative will discuss a loan move, which could turn into a permanent deal, with the Hammers.
The forward spent the second half of last season on loan at AC Milan.
