While West Ham have been linked with twenty-five names in the central forward role, the position of centre back has received less attention and speculation.

David Moyes sees the centre back role a priority with the loss of Fabian Balbeunea this summer when his contract expires at the end of this month.

The Hammers have been with eight central defenders this summer.

Duje Calela-Car is one name from Marseille said to be valued at £22.5m

Slavia Prague is said to have set a £37m price tag for David Zima but no one believes they will get anything close to that.

Back in the Championship Joe Worrall from  Notts Forest is thought to be available for  £10m

Phil Jones from Manchester United said to be available at just £5m while Marc Guehi from Chelsea  is£6m

Nat Phillips Liverpool is said to be  £10m with Nikola Maksimovic from Napoli also said to be £10m

James Tarkowski from Burnley has been linked again and could be available for just £20m this summer.
