# West Ham: Journalist makes Elvedi ‘offer’ claim

**[West Ham United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/) have submitted a late offer to sign Borussia Monchengladbach defender Nico Elvedi before deadline day, according to reports.**

### The Lowdown: Hammers eye new additions?

Amid their defensive injury ‘[crisis’](https://www.claretandhugh.info/hammers-exploring-loan-for-saints-defender/), with manager David Moyes still waiting on the likes of Nayef Aguerd to return to full fitness, West Ham have been tipped to potentially add new centre-backs to their roster.

Links have come to light in the last few days, particularly surrounding [Southampton defender Jan Bednarek](https://www.claretandhugh.info/hammers-exploring-loan-for-saints-defender/), coming after the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) side completed deals for Alphonse Areola, Nayef Aguerd, Flynn Downes, Gianluca Scamacca, Maxwel Cornet, Thilo Kehrer, Emerson and club record signing Lucas Paqueta.

### The Latest: West Ham make Elvedi offer…

Now, according to reports, a new offer has gone in for Gladbach star Elvedi.

Indeed, journalist Andreas Böni has now [claimed](https://twitter.com/AndreasBoeni/status/1564596006938877953?s=20&t=F3zknoYPxbY2HRY6odUWgw) that West Ham have launched a bid for the Switzerland international.

### The Verdict: Make the move?

Called ‘[impressive’](https://twitter.com/MarcusBr22/status/1401233874773057536) by football analyst Marcus Bring, Elvedi’s numbers certainly back this up.

The 25-year-old made his side’s joint-third most clearances per 90 in the Bundesliga last season and only goalkeeper Yann Sommer playing more league minutes than the defender [(WhoScored).](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/134/Archive/Germany-Borussia-M-Gladbach)

Elvedi would also come with a plethora of experience, having racked up [38 caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nico-elvedi/rueckennummern/spieler/192635) for his national team, not to mention real sell-on value given he is still fairly young.

He appears to be the ideal back up option for Moyes and we’re surprised his name hasn’t been mentioned sooner.
