Report: Inter Milan beat West Ham United to Romanian youngster

Inter Milan have reportedly beaten West Ham United to the signature of Romanian starlet Razvan Popa.

The 16-year-old currently plays for second-tier side Sportul Studentesc in his homeland, where he made his debut last season aged just 15.

According to Romanian paper Porsport, the Nerazzurri have snapped up the teenager for a fee of £250,000, despite interest from the Hammers.

Popa was formerly on the books at Steaua Bucuresti.
