West Ham are reportedly interested in Maccabi Tel Aviv defensive midfielder Dor Peretz when the Israel international’s contract expires this summer.
The Hammers are joined by current frontrunners for the signature, CSKA Moscow, in the pursuit and are said to have made an ‘impressive financial offer’ to the 26-year-old.
This is according to a report from Sport1 in Israel, as cited by From The Anvil – West Ham on Twitter.

Peretz is expected to hold talks with Maccabi when the Israeli Premier League comes to its conclusion in the coming weeks.
Capped on 20 occasions by Isreal at senior level, the man who according to former manager Andi Herzog ‘belongs at the top’, has scored 10 times and registered nine assists in 50 appearances this season.

Signing the £1.26million valued midfielder for nothing this summer would be an incredible bargain option to supplement Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek.
Out of contract in just four weeks, Peretz could follow the likes of Soucek and Vladimir Coufal as arriving at the London Stadium as relative unknowns.
Saving money on other positions in need of strengthening would also be beneficial to David Moyes’ imperative striker pursuit.
