Juventus set to make move for West Ham's Valon Behrami after poor start

Italy-bound? West Ham utility man Valon BehramiJuventus have joined the race for unsettled West Ham utility man Valon Behrami.The Italian giants have started the season badly, losing at Bari and drawing and twice throwing away leads to draw at home against Sampdoria.Reports in Italy say they are already working on targets for the winter transfer window, with a full back high on their list of priorities.Behrami is one of three players in their sights and the former Lazio player is keen to move back to the country to satisfy family problems.Roma, Palermo, Sampdoria and Cesena were all interested in the summer but could not reach an agreement with West Ham for the 25-year-old.Behrami recently admitted his disappointment at not sealing a switch to Serie A, but he has vowed to give his full commitment to the Hammers.Juve like the Switzerland international's versatility as he can play in defence or midfield.The Turin club could turn to his compatriot Stephan Lichtsteiner as an alternative, but he is more pigeonholed as a raiding right back.Palermo's Mattia Cassani, who can play on either side of defence, is another alternative, reports Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport. West Ham fine Benni McCarthy over weight deadline - Battle of the bulge costs striker £80,000 West Ham 1 Chelsea 3: Groundhog day as Robert Green is the culprit (yet again)WEST HAM FC
