Following Fabricio Romano’s designation of Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah as “one to watch” during the summer transfer window, West Ham needs to rekindle their interest in bringing him over.

Tah has just one year left on his contract at the end of the season, therefore he might be available. This is according to the transfer journalist, who has speculated about potential summer deals mere days after the January transfer market closed.

The Hammers needed to rekindle the talk about their pursuit of the defender, which had been linked to them throughout the summer transfer window and again in the January window (The Sun, November 15).

The technical director of the London Stadium, Tim Steidten, is rumored to be a great admirer of the German after working with him at Bayer Leverkusen.

 

Tah would be an improvement over David Moyes’ existing defense in East London, even though it would appear on paper that West Ham no longer needs a new defender after signing Konstantinos Mavropanos in the summer.

Considering Angelo Ogbonna’s advanced age and Nayef Aguerd’s recent slump in play, the London Stadium’s recruitment chiefs might prioritize Tah to shore up a vulnerable West Ham defense.

Even though Tah is only 27 years old, he has a ton of experience because he was a somewhat regular for the German national team and gained 21 international caps.

With James Ward-Prowse joining the Hammers this season, the team has proven to be lethal at set-pieces and aerial balls. Tah, who is 6 feet 5 inches tall, also adds the height and physicality that are frequently so coveted in a Moyes team.
