Defender is free agent in hours, West Ham want him as red tape hits contract talks - report
The Story So Far
West Ham United are monitoring a defensive target whose current contract is set to expire imminently. The player is expected to enter free agency within a very short timeframe as negotiations regarding a potential extension have encountered administrative hurdles. These bureaucratic complications have stalled progress on a new deal, allowing the Hammers to consider a move for the individual without a transfer fee. The club’s recruitment department is reportedly keeping a close eye on the situation as the window for a resolution with his current employer closes. Securing the defender would provide the club with additional depth at the back.
