# West Ham: talkSPORT reporter reveals Coady interest live on air

**[West Ham United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/) are said to be eyeing a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers star Conor Coady as talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook makes a live-on-air claim.**

### The Lowdown: Hammers want new defender…

The Irons and manager David Moyes are said to be interested in signing another centre-back option this summer despite the arrival of Nayef Aguerd from Rennes.

West Ham have had to cope with a[defensive injury crisis](https://thisisfutbol.com/2022/07/blogs/premier-league/west-ham-united/west-ham-united-news-whufc-transfer-rumours-centre-back-craig-dawson-nayef-aguerd-injury/) as of late, prompting the east Londoners to take to the transfer market yet again in a bid to resolve their problem position.

The likes of [Attila Szalai (Fenerbache) and Marcos Senesi (Feyenoord)](https://www.patreon.com/posts/transfer-update-70058710) are currently linked with a move to the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/), but according to talkSPORT’s Crook, there is another name on the possible target list.

### The Latest: Crook makes Coady claim live-on-air…

Speaking live on a radio broadcast (Friday, 11:03am), via[Hammers News,](https://www.hammers.news/transfer-news/report-west-ham-want-to-sign-conor-coady-after-declan-rice-said-hes-powerful-to-watch/) the reporter suggests that Coady is attracting interest from West Ham.

The 29-year-old has been linked with a possible exit from Molineux this summer and his manager Bruno Lage has refused to rule out the possibility of him leaving Wolves.

### The Verdict: Great option…

Already proven in England, Lage’s mainstay played more minutes domestically than any of his teammates last season whilst also racking up their most blocked shots per 90 ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/161/Archive/England-Wolverhampton)).

Coady would come to the London Stadium with bags of experience and many plaudits, having been called a [‘machine’](https://www.footballinsider247.com/ex-manager-wowed-as-tottenham-open-talks-to-sign-machine-coady-from-wolves/) by former Scotland boss Alex McLeish and even ‘one of the best defenders’ in the top flight by [ex-Leeds striker Noel Whelan.](https://www.footballinsider247.com/pundit-i-wouldnt-be-surprised-if-coady-signs-for-tottenham-after-discussions-held/)
