Flocking to Twitter, many West Ham United fans have reacted to news on their club and Borussia Monchengladbach defender Ramy Bensebaini.

David Moyes has been tipped to target new defenders as one of his main summer transfer priorities alongside the acquisition of a star striker and signing Jesse Lingard permanently (Claret & Hugh).

West Ham have been linked to a few colossal defensive names like Nikola Milenkovic and James Tarkowski, with news now emerging on another target in Bensebaini.

The Bundesliga ace, who started 20 German top flight matches for Monchengladbach over 2020/2021, also managed more interceptions per 90 on average (1.9) than any West Ham man did in the Premier League (WhoScored).

As a result, Moyes and GSB are now interested in signing Bensebaini this summer, according to Corriere dello Sport.

The Italian news outlet reports that while the Irons are eyeing him alongside Roma, his €20 million (£17.02m) asking price 'risks dissuading' both while new Monchengladbach head coach Adi Hütter is keen to keep him.

Regardless of these obstacles, West Ham fans have reacted to the news on social media with a fair few pleading for his signing.
