Hammers boss David Moyes is clearly on the hunt for a new central defender in the summer transfer window, after Craig Dawson left to join Wolves in January and with Angelo Ogbonna now 35.
In addition to that, Kurt Zouma continues to struggle with injury problems.
And it seems as though Moyes has someone lined up to come in and bolster his defensive ranks at the London Stadium this summer…
West Ham have just made a £17 million bid for Italy international Luiz Felipe
According to El Chiringuito de Jugones reckon that the Hammers have swooped in to sign the Brazilian born Italy international.
If Betis accept our £17 million bid for the 26-year-old, I think he would be very good addition for us.
In 23 La Liga outings for Betis last season, Felipe averaged 1.5 tackles, 1.2 interceptions, 4.3 clearances and 1.3 successful aerial duels per game (Who Scored).
During those appearances, he has made 38.1 passes on average per match and has recorded an impressive completion rate of 85.5% (Who Scored).
Luiz Felipe is strong in the tackle and in the air, and possesses all of the attributes need to succeed with West Ham in the Premier League.
As far as I’m concerned, £17 million seems like an absolute bargain for the Real Betis centre-back.
Whether our offer for the defender is accepted or not remains to be seen though.
