# West Ham United: GSB eyeing Rangers ace Connor Goldson for David Moyes

**According to a West Ham United source, speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-eye-rangers-player-goldson/), Rangers defender Connor Goldson is back on the radar of GSB and David Moyes as they assess central defensive additions – with the club apparently set to target ‘at least one’ senior player in that position.**

Goldson, who has been a mainstay for the Gers and Steven Gerrard as they charge towards an SPFL title, starting 30 league matches whilst winning an impressive 4.4 aerial duels per 90 ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/134258/History/Connor-Goldson)), is now reportedly a target for West Ham.

### West Ham eyeing Goldson move

This comes amid potential uncertainty surrounding a new deal at Ibrox, with Goldson entering the final 12 months of his contract this summer as talks over an extension have been delayed.

GSB, as a result, are keeping tabs on his situation ahead of a potential move – even despite the impressive performances from Moyes’ current crop of defenders.

A West Ham source has told [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-eye-rangers-player-goldson/) that the Irons have reignited their interest in Goldson after he was on their radar last year.

### Transfer Tavern take

Goldson stands at an imposing 6 foot 3, and Liverpool legend Gerrard certainly rates him judging by his recent praise ([The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6712950/rangers-gerrard-true-warrior-goldson-resilience/)). Indeed, the former England international described him as ‘[immense](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6712950/rangers-gerrard-true-warrior-goldson-resilience/)‘ and a ‘[proper leader](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6712950/rangers-gerrard-true-warrior-goldson-resilience/)‘ – potentially highlighting why GSB are apparently keeping close watch.

Time will tell whether they do swoop in the summer, but he seems to be firmly on the Irons radar.
