West Ham have reportedly expressed interest in signing Galatasaray defender Victor Nelsson ahead of this summer’s transfer window.
According to The Guardian, the Hammers have held initial discussions over a summer swoop for Nelsson, who came close to joining Tottenham last season before the move fell through.
The Danish international is also a transfer target for this weekend’s opponents, Crystal Palace, who are likely to be without central defensive duo Marc Guehi and Joachim Andersen for the Premier League game at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
In a further twist, the Turkish side are one of three clubs reportedly interested in Hammers winger Maxwel Cornet.
As reported on C&H last week, West Ham remains in the hunt for another central defender but only if Kurt Zouma, Nayef Aguerd, or both can be offloaded.
As reported yesterday, the club would prefer not to sanction a move for defender Konstantinos Mavropanos who is wanted by two Bundesliga sides.
Saw him on TV against Young Boy’s last night 2 – 2 draw but best avoided, honestly, positioning all over the place, no great attributes in the air or on the deck. Would be a complete waste of money so best move on
Correction, 3-2 forgot late penalty but half asleep by then! Batshuayi came on as sub and scored both. Like Watkins he’s always moving and never static, shame we’ve never signed him
