West Ham linked with a move for Dragovic

West Ham are reportedly considering a swoop for Bayer Leverkusen defender Aleksandar Dragovic.

The central defender spent the duration of last season on loan with Leicester City but it seems they are still weighing up a permanent move for the Austrian international.

Leicester are understood to have an option to land Dragovic for £15 million this summer, but as they reconsider their interest in the player, it’s claimed by the Mirror that West Ham are interested in a deal.

The 27-year-old struggled to make an impact at the King Power Stadium, making only 16 appearances during his temporary spell in the Premier League.

West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini wants to add extra defensive quality to the ranks this summer and is understood to be targeting another centre-back, even after signing Issa Diop from Toulouse for a club-record fee.

However, the Hammers face competition in their apparent pursuit of Dragovic, with Brighton and Everton also linked with a move.
