West Ham are tonight being reported as tracking Dynamo Kiev defender Domagoj Vida.

They may find themselves involved in scrapping it out with Stoke, Everton and Sunderland although relegation would put the Black Cats out of the race for the the 27-year-old, who will have a year left on his contract in the summer.

The four clubs are looking to strengthen in central defence, with West Ham also after a right-back and a striker when the transfer window reopens.

Vida can play centre-back or either full-back position.

Sunderland have been tracking him for more than a year, but are bottom of the table and look certain to miss out on the player.

    We have more than enough centre backs, its a specialist right back we need.

    No here’s a better idea…. lets buy loads of midfielders and wingers, have most of them on the bench all season and persevere with playing our best players out of position….its a winning formula, what could go wrong?

      99% of the time it’s the player’s agent.

      The better question is will us fans ever learn not to believe this **** the moment it hits the media fan.

      To be fair Hugh is just reporting a report in the media. It may or may not have any truth in it most don’t.

    Whos leaked what.There are stories in the newspapers every day about every clubs next targets.The media will have signed hundreds of players for each club by the end of August.
    It is nothing to do with leaks its all to do with the media making up fanciful stories to fill their pages 😂

      All sports desks at the papers have 2 jars, one contains players names, the other the clubs. Every day the chief picks out one player and 4 clubs. Hey presto you have a story.
