West Ham have set their sights on Tottenham's Eric Dier, with the possibility of a free transfer looming for the English player.
The defender faces the prospect of parting ways with the club under the management of Ange Postecoglou. With minimal playing time this season – just four Premier League appearances and 198 minutes on the field – Dier's tenure at Spurs seems uncertain.
David Moyes is keen on bolstering his central defensive options during the January transfer window. Injuries to players like Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd have prompted the Hammers to explore potential reinforcements.
According to insights from David Ornstein on Rio Ferdinand's FIVE Insider show, there's speculation that the North Londoners might be open to letting the 29-year-old go on a free transfer this month, despite having six months left on his current contract.
"Hugo Lloris has already gone to LAFC. That doesn’t bring in a transfer fee but it moves his salary off the wage bill which is crucial in this financial fair play era. They would very gladly do the same with Eric Dier who is out of contract next summer and is not part of the plans.” the journalist stated.
