# Virals: West Ham ‘keen’ on Sassuolo defender Mert Muldur

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/07/08/virals-mark-noble-opens-up-on-emotional-viewing-during-euro-2020/) have been credited with an interest in Sassuolo defender Mert Muldur this summer.

The Hammers are believed to be ‘keen’ on the Turkish ace, whilst [London rivals](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2013/02/25/3778137/west-ham-v-tottenham-a-most-unusual-rivalry) Tottenham also eye up a move for the 22-year-old.

Muldur recently featured for Turkey at what was a disappointing Euro 2020 campaign for the nation – the right-back earning an [average Sofascore rating of 7.00](https://www.sofascore.com/player/mert-muldur/836683) from two outings.

According to a report from the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9764117/Tottenham-weighing-Sassuolo-right-Mert-Muldur.html), as cited by [Football Transfers](https://twitter.com/Transferzone00/status/1413074788252209159) on Twitter, David Moyes is considering a move for the [10-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mert-muldur/nationalmannschaft/spieler/353922/verein_id/3381) star.

Signed for £4.23m from Austrian top-flight outfit Rapid Vienna in 2019 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mert-muldur/transfers/spieler/353922)), Muldur has made [54 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mert-muldur/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/353922) for Sassuolo since arriving in Italy.

Last season, the versatile youngster made [28 Serie appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mert-muldur/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/353922) adding one assist.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Valued at £8.1million and under contract until 2024 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mert-muldur/marktwertverlauf/spieler/353922)), signing Muldur would likely represent an expensive outlay this summer.

Predominantly a right-back, the Turkish starlet can also [play centrally and on the left side](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mert-muldur/leistungsdaten/spieler/353922) of the defence.

That versatility would likely endear David Moyes to the possibility, whilst also providing [additional cover](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad) to Vladimir Coufal alongside Ben Johnson.
