Parma want Jimenez

(GSM) – Serie A outfit Parma are interested in Chilean play maker Luis Jimenez. The player is currently on a season-long loan at West Ham.

The 25-year-old joined Gianfranco Zola’s team from Internazionale over the summer. However, the South American midfielder has struggled to make an impact in England and has had limited first-team opportunities.

West Ham are expected to offload players on before the January window slams shut. The Hammers could choose to terminate Jimenez’s loan agreement in order to get the Chilean off their wage bill.

Meanwhile, Parma sporting director Pietro Leonardi revealed that he is set to hold talks with Inter regarding a possible transfer deal for Jimenez.

“Jimenez interests us,” he told tuttomercatoweb.

“In fact, I am heading to Milan to talk about a possible transfer.”
