Talk about being the unwanted', having submitted a bid that was accepted by Olympic Marseille for centre back Duje Caleta-Car, the Hammers' hierarchy were then informed the 24-year-old Croatia international had elected to stay at Marseille and enjoy Champions League football instead. Another Irons target, Daniel Rugani, has joined Ligue 1 side Rennes on a one year loan from Juventus when at one point he was destined for East London.

David Moyes’ relentless search for a centre-back has taken West Ham representatives to France in order to try and sign Croatian defender Duje Caleta-Car from Marseille. The Irons have tabled a substantial bid of around €22m for the centre-back and are hopeful of successful talks to bring the defender to the London Stadium.

West Ham United have finally signed a player, and a decent one at that, Czech Republic right back Vladimir Coufal has signed from Tomas Soucek's former club Slavia Prague for £5.4m, Coufal, who has eight international caps, has arrived at the London Stadium on a three year contract, with a very useful option of a further two year extension.
