# Virals: West Ham have OGC Nice defender Flavius Daniliuc ‘on the radar’

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2022/01/06/virals-west-ham-chasing-nottingham-forest-winger-brennan-johnson/) have reportedly placed OGC Nice defender [Flavius Daniliuc](https://readwestham.com/2021/08/04/virals-west-ham-reportedly-eye-move-for-nice-defender-flavius-daniliuc/) ‘on the radar’ for the January transfer window.

The Hammers are expected to reinforce the [defensive department](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad) following long term injuries suffered by Kurt Zouma and Angelo Ogbonna.

Daniliuc has been [linked with a move](https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1422859343633031177) to the London Stadium for some time and this mid-season window may finally see the club land the 20-year-old.

According to a report from [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3050294/2022/01/04/sensible-transfers-west-ham-bolstering-their-defence-with-improved-aerial-presence-and/), the well-travelled centre-back remains of interest in East London.

Formerly of Rapid Vienna, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, the [eight-times capped](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/flavius-daniliuc/nationalmannschaft/spieler/322655/verein_id/9316) Austria Under 21 starlet arrived in France in 2020.

This season Daniliuc has earned a [6.91 Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/flavius-daniliuc/901885) from 10 Ligue 1 appearances.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Valued at £6.3million and under contract until 2024 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/flavius-daniliuc/marktwertverlauf/spieler/322655)), the talented Austrian would be an attainable target financially.

Already a player with an [impressive pedigree](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/flavius-daniliuc/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/322655), Daniliuc certainly possesses all the potential to be a top-level performer.

Capable of playing at [full-back on either side](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/flavius-daniliuc/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/322655) as well as having fleeting experience as a defensive midfielder, it’s no surprise that David Moyes would have the youngster high on the list of potential incomings.
