Inter Milan sporting director Piero Ausilio will be scouting West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek in person during the international break.
According to Il Corriere dello Sport via FcInterNews, the Nerazzurri official will be present at the Air Albania Stadium this evening while on duty.
The Albanian national team will be hosting the Czech Republic in a Euro 2024 qualifier. As the source explains, Ausilio will attend the match to keep an eye on Soucek.
The midfielder has recently emerged as a transfer target for the Serie A giants.
The 28-year-old is a physically imposing player who mostly operates as a box-to-box midfielder.
He also has a knack for scoring goals. This season, he has contributed with four strikes and an assist in his 10 appearances for West Ham across all competitions.
While the player’s contract will expire at the end of the season, the Hammers can still activate a unilateral renewal clause that can push the deadline for another year.
As the source explains, this can be a significant hurdle for the Nerazzurri. They would probably have to negotiate with the English club rather than signing the player as a free agent in the summer.

Inter will be keeping tabs on the player while waiting to understand how the situation will pan out between Soucek and West Ham.
The midfielder is also the captain of the Czech national team. He scored nine goals in 62 international caps.
Ausilio should also find Inter midfielder Kristjan Asllani on the pitch. The 21-year-old could feature as a starter for Albania, as the source tells it.
