Report: Irons make move for defender

West Ham are reported to have made an offer for Borussia Monchengladbach defender Nico Elvedi, according to German outlet Blick.

The Hammers are in the market to potentially sign a new defender ahead of tomorrow’s transfer deadline.

There remains uncertainty over the future of Craig Dawson and, as a result, the Irons are exploring their options.

C&H has reported that there is interest in Jan Bednarek at Southampton, in what would be a loan deal, and Elvedi could be another option.

The report claims that French club Nice are interested in doing a deal for Elvedi but the Hammers are said to have made an offer as they look to strengthen the backline ahead of the deadline.

There is no mention of whether the bid is a permanent one or a loan, but his name may be one to keep an eye on in the final hours of the transfer window.
