Steidten will make January move for defender Sanusi

West Ham are reportedly interested in acquiring Porto defender Zaidu Sanusi. The 26-year-old has become a key player for the Portuguese club and Hammers scouts are believed to have watched the player closely.

Portuguese media claim we are preparing a bid for Sanusi, with the club’s technical director, Tim Steidten, being a long-term admirer. Sanusi possesses strength and skills that make him well-suited for the Premier League.

The question remains whether West Ham can entice Porto with a tempting enough offer. While Aaron Cresswell’s departure from West Ham seems imminent, it’s uncertain whether he will leave on a free transfer at the end of the season or for a nominal fee in January.

It’s also worth noting that right back is currently a more pressing position. Emerson is also in fine form at left back so there is no guarantee Sanusi would break into the team.

The 26 year old Nigerian was heavily linked with a move to Brighton last season.

Hammers Chat my first game was West Ham 10-0 Bury . . . seriously!
We than went and bought Bury's central defender 😬⚒️ Irons

Started Hammers Chat alongside my partner in crime Geo back in 2014 and brough in to Claret & Hugh by my old mate Hughie to produce videos a couple of years later.

Give West Ham opinions on Sky Sports News and even did a bit of moonlighting on BBC Football Focus.

Sometimes feature on BBC Radio 5 Live and once ate a biscuit in Tony Gales shed.

Connoisseur of salted caramel doughnuts and I love a Sloppy Giuseppe pizza although I'm slightly suspicious where the name came from.

When I'm not moaning about West Ham I can be found walking a dog that looks like a sheep and tinkering with pinball machines.
