West Ham United are showing interest in signing AS Monaco defender Eric Dier, according to breaking reports.
Nuno Espírito Santo is said to be keen on reuniting with the 31-year-old, who is viewed as a leader with the kind of experience West Ham currently lack.
The news has come via Hammers ITK ExWHUEmployee during his evening update.
Dier joined Monaco on a free transfer from Bayern Munich in July 2025, signing a three-year contract at the time. How much it would take to prise the versatile former England international away from that deal remains unclear.
Experience and Leadership on Nuno’s Radar
That said, given Dier’s leadership qualities and his established relationship with Espírito Santo, this is not a rumour that can be easily dismissed. ExWHUEmployee has provided several reliable updates during the current transfer window, lending weight to the report.
With West Ham searching for stability and experience at the back, the potential addition of a player with Dier’s pedigree would be an improvement on Max Kilman. Whether Monaco would be willing to negotiate mid-contract remains to be seen, but this is one link worth keeping an eye on.
Good grief no, what fresh hell is this?
Not a 31 year old
No way
Dier by name and Dire by ability 😆
I thought we were trying to bring the age down in the squad Mind you I cant blame Nuno Suspect we are back to penny pinching again
Another 30 year old on a long contract and big money will they ever learn
That would be another waste of money hes past his best and over 30 if thats the limit of the clubs and nunos ambition we are truley stuffed nuno has not done anything to shout about our style of play has been baffling.as with the some of the players he has started with in quite few games after the losz to both wolves and nottingham forest im amazed hes still manager it looks like all we are going to win with nuno is.religation
Players which have previously played under current (and ex) managers don’t work.
Killman being a prime example.
Completely against age policy or is this to compensate getting rid of younger players?
Give this a wide berth.
Is it me or is manager a complete joke get him gone
West Ham will be in Dier straights he’s worse than one mistake Mavrapanos 🤦🏻♂️⚒
In our current plight, I think Dier would be a decent move – we desperately need leaders and I think Dier fits the bill – big improvement on what we currently have, at least he can head a ball ! Tell Monaco we’ll do straight swap with Kilman.
When you’re in the trenches like we are, we need fighters and players ready to put a shift in. Need same in central midfield – two players, box to box and a creative playmaker.
Send Paqueta off to play with his toys in the Amazon !
If an over the hill spuds reject who was available for free a few months ago is an improvement on a former club captain that we paid £40M for, there is something very very wrong
Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
Well he would be an improvement on what we’ve got if he doesn’t get injured straight away
It’s not about ambition now.Need a CB who can organise other defenders on pitch.
ha ha is it April Fools Day & Nuno please leave if this is ambition
