West Ham are reportedly one of four clubs interested in defender Attila Szalai at Turkish top-flight club Fenerbahce.

According to A Spor, Fenerbahce are going to wait until after the European Championships this summer to consider any potential sale of the Hungary international.

It is explained that they value him at €25million (£21.7million).

The report mentions West Ham, Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Spanish club Sevilla as potential suitors for him.

Szalai, 23, only made the switch to Fenerbahce back in January from Apollon Limassol on a four-and-a-half year deal. However, the 6ft 4in commanding centre-back has caught the eye of several European clubs.

He’s scored six goals in his 36 games across all competitions this season.

TBR’s View:

Hungary’s national team has an exciting young group of talented players coming through, and the Fenerbahce centre-half definitely falls into that category.

If West Ham can get over the line to secure European football like many expect, then Hammers boss David Moyes will need to make some signings to improve his squad at the London Stadium.

They could do with an extra centre-back option in the heart of defence to compete with Craig Dawson, Fabian Balbuena, Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna, especially as they sometimes play with a back three.
