WEST HAM are looking to prise Inter Milan's Brazilian star Mancini to Upton Park.
The 28-year-old winger made only 13 appearances in the Serie A champions star-studded line-up last season, scoring one goal.
Hammers officials were in Milan over the weekend to finalise a deal for striker Luis Jimenez, but it is said that they also asked about the possibility of signing the six-cap Brazilian player as well.
Mancini scored 40 goals in 154 games for Roma, while he really came to prominence with a breathtaking individual goal against Lyon in the Champions League, where a series of step-overs bamboozled his marker, before he thumped the ball into the roof of the net.

It may well be tougher to bring Mancini to Upton Park than was the case with Jimenez.
West Ham could be looking for another loan deal, but Inter may be keener on a cash move.
