West Ham United made an approach for Lazio striker Felipe Caicedo, it’s reported, but this was rejected outright.

The Hammers had already been linked with the Ecuador international centre-forward in January and Calciomercato.com claim they were ready to swoop again over the summer.

However, Simone Inzaghi has great respect for Caicedo and would not be willing to sell.

The 31-year-old has been at the Stadio Olimpico since 2017 and this season has scored eight goals with five assists in 29 competitive games.
