Inter defender Andrea Ranocchia could be reunited with his fellow Italy international Angelo Ogbonna at West Ham United.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Hammers and Crystal Palace are both interested in signing Ranocchia.

He had been the captain of Inter, but looks almost certain to lose that status and his first team spot for the new season.

Ranocchia only recently signed a contract extension with the Nerazzurri.

West Ham already spent big on bringing Ogbonna from Juventus this summer, a deal that cost €11m (£7.9m).

Ranocchia, also 27, has been at San Siro since January 2011 and his price-tag is on a similar level to that of Ogbonna.

Unlike his compatriot, Ranocchia has scored 11 Serie A goals over his career and is known for his strong aerial ability in both boxes.
