HOT: West Ham drops from the race of signing Top European defender, currently searching for another “best” defensive option.

West Ham United have ended their pursuit of Toulouse centre-back Logan Costa due to the French club’s high valuation. Bologna is now likely to sign Costa, meeting Toulouse’s asking price.

Manager Julen Lopetegui remains determined to strengthen West Ham’s defensive line and will explore alternative targets. The club has recently signed Niclas Fullkrug and Guido Rodriguez, bolstering their attacking and midfield departments.

With the Premier League season approaching, West Ham must act quickly to secure suitable defensive reinforcements. The club will need to finalize their squad and prepare for the upcoming challenges.
