West Ham could sign “monster” £90k-p/w Walker-Peters alternative
West Ham United are revamping their rearguard under Julen Lopetegui. The Spanish tactician has replaced David Moyes at the helm and has already bolstered his frontline with the £25.5m signing of winger Luis Guilherme, who is only 18.
Nayef Aguerd is expected to leave while captain Kurt Zouma could also be sold. The central defence is being overhauled. With Ben Johnson nearing a transfer to Premier League new boys Ipswich Town, a right-back is needed too.
West Ham eyeing new right-back
According to Fabrizio Romano, West Ham are locked in discussions with Southampton for the transfer of Kyle Walker-Peters, with Flynn Downes, who was on loan at St. Mary’s last term, being considered as part of the deal.
However, the one-time Tottenham Hotspur prospect is not the only name being considered to provide Vladimir Coufal with competition.
The Times reveal that the Irons have rekindled their interest in Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has one year left at Old Trafford and has been deemed surplus to requirements.
Why West Ham want a right-back
Man United signed Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace for £50m back in 2019. He has played 190 times for the prestigious Premier League club, winning the Carabao Cup and winning the FA Cup.
