Four days ago, Bild reported West Ham United are showing very concrete interest in Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah.
The centre-back has been a regular for the Bundesliga side, making 47 appearances last season. His displays have not gone unnoticed in England.
According to Sky Deutschland, the 27-year-old is ‘highly desired’ in the Premier League, where West Ham are named as one of his suitors.
It’s claimed the defender has already been the subject of contact from England, including from David Moyes’ side.
Tah’s deal expires in 2025 and he has a €18m release clause. Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso wants to retain the Germany international but his clause could make it difficult to keep him.
Sky state it’s a ‘relatively low’ price, considering Tah’s performances and the interest he has generated so far.
With West Ham keen to sign Tah, they could snatch him away from the German club by exercising his clause, as long as they convince the player to join them in the summer.
