According to Foot Mercato, relaying information they've heard from the Athletic, Marseille defender Duje Caleta-Car interests West Ham United.

According to an update from French news outlet Foot Mercato, Marseille defender Duje Caleta-Car interests West Ham United with the 'media talking about' an upcoming offer of €15 million (£12.8m).

Caleta-Car also attracted West Ham last summer, but he rejected the chance to sign at the London Stadium when manager David Moyes was on a centre-back hunt (The Guardian).

Now, reports have resurfaced of the Irons potentially eyeing a move for the Croatian who is currently at Euro 2020.

The 24-year-old was a mainstay for Marseille and started 32 Ligue 1 matches - making an impressive 3.9 clearances per 90 and completing 86% of his passes out from the back (WhoScored).
