West Ham set to make second offer for Vida

West Ham are set to make a second offer for Besiktas defender Domagoj Vida, after their opening bid was rejected.

According to Fanatik, via The BBC, West Ham are ready to come back with an improved approach for the Croatian international.

The report claims that Monaco are also interested in the defender and could provide stiff competition for The Hammers.

West Ham’s first offer for Vida was thought to be in the region of €22m, which was rejected.

Vida was a key cog in Croatia’s side as they reached the final of the World Cup for the first time in their history – going on to lose 4-2 to France in Russia.

The 29-year-old wants to leave Besiktas and has told the Turkish giants of his ambition to play in the Premier League next season.

Manuel Pellegrini is keen to continue making additions to his squad and sees Vida as a good replacement for the injured Winston Reid.

Liverpool and Everton have been previously linked with the central defender.
