A number of West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to comment on reports from The Telegraph on Thursday claiming that the Hammers want Jannik Vestergaard.

The Irons are continuing their search for a new defender. Kurt Zouma has reportedly rejected the chance to move to the London Stadium.

So it is hard to imagine Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side making it easy for any admirers to lure another senior member of the squad away.

And some West Ham fans would clearly be extremely relieved if a move did not take place. The reaction on social media seems to be incredibly divided.
