Many West Ham United fans want the club to sign Clement Lenglet after they were linked with a move for the Barcelona defender.
David Moyes deserves huge credit for leading the Hammers to a sixth-placed finish in the Premier League last term, especially as the Irons battled relegation during the 2019/20 campaign. As such, they will be competing in the Europa League this coming campaign.
However, the Irons hierarchy cannot expect him to repeat such heroics without the necessary squad improvements – West Ham are yet to make a new signing in this transfer window.

However, according to Ekrem Konur, they are in talks to sign a new centre-back, albeit on loan. That man is £22.5m-valued Lenglet (Transfermarkt), who plays for Barcelona and France – he appeared for Les Bleus at Euro 2020 was a regular in the Blaugrana’s line-up at club level in 2020/21.

“I’d happily have him, either with Ogbonna in a back 4 or if we do a 5/3 then Diop, Lenglet and Ogbonna. He could also help develop Diop further.”
