Burnley and West Ham United have suffered a blow in their interest in Sheraldo Becker, with the Union Berlin attacker
setting his heart on a move to Italy.
The 28-year-old scored eleven goals, providing seven assists for his team-mates, in 34 Bundesliga outings and in the process
attracted eyeballs.
Burnley, West Ham and Fulham are all firm admirers, but despite this, according to German daily Bild, Becker’s camp have
changed their transfer strategy.
The striker is now aiming for a move to Serie A.
Becker believes that he could have an opportunity to move to a club involved in the Champions League or at least the Europa
League if he heads to Italy.
In the Premier League, only suitors West Ham could offer European football.
His camp also think that his pace and physical attributes would give him an edge in Serie A which would maybe not be the
case in the Premier League.

HAN-NOAH MASSENGO REJECTS BURNLEY
L’Équipe are reporting that Han-Noah Massengo (22) has rejected an approach from Burnley. The France U21
international is a free agent following the expiry of his contract at Bristol City.
Massengo is in search of a new club, but he won’t be joining newly-promoted Premier League side Burnley. According
to L’Équipe, the Frenchman turned down the offer to join Vincent Kompany’s side. Whilst Massengo does want to play in
the Premier League, he wants to be able to play a considerable role. This wasn’t necessarily going to be the case at Burnley,
where a starting spot was not guaranteed.
The former Bristol City midfielder had a successful loan spell at AJ Auxerre in the second half of last season. The
Frenchman, who has two caps for the U21 side, enhanced his reputation during his return to Ligue 1, but he couldn’t save
Auxerre from relegation. Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano linked Massengo with a return to formative club AS Monaco
earlier in the summer.
