ExWHUemployee has revealed that defender Duje Caleta-Car has been ‘on the radar’ as a West Ham United transfer target for some time now.
In recent weeks, the Marseille player has been linked with a possible move to the Premier League outfit. With the transfer market coming to an end soon, it seems as though he could well be a player the Hammers look to bring in this winter.
Should West Ham sign Armando Broja?
Yes
No
Indeed, while speaking on The West Ham Way podcast, Ex confirmed that the centre-back is someone the club ‘100%’ like, and outlined why David Moyes could make a move for him.
He said: “They’ve [Marseille] got Caleta-Car, someone that [is] continuously linked with this club. We do like him 100%, he’s been a player on the radar for ages.
“Marseille are struggling financially. He is left-footed, I think. Also, I’ve been told that David Moyes doesn’t like to sign centre-backs that aren’t more than six-foot-two, apparently.”
TIF Thoughts on Duje Caleta-Car and West Ham…
Caleta-Car has proved to be a solid option in the Marseille squad over the course of this season. Indeed, he has played in 15 games across all competitions, playing as a central defender for the French club.
For those West Ham supporters who rate the 25-year-old, they will be delighted to hear that their club’s interest is very real and that he could be available for a relatively low fee if Les Olympiens really are ‘struggling financially’.
With less than a week to go in the transfer market, it will be interesting to see whether or not West Ham decide to make a move for the player, who apparently seems to tick all the boxes for a Moyes signing.
