West Ham United Could Sign Long-Term Target Jonathan Tah Next Summer
The summer transfer window has barely closed, but West Ham United is already eyeing potential targets for next year. According to West Ham Zone, the Hammers could finally sign Jonathan Tah, a German defender who has been a long-term target for the club. Tah has been instrumental in Bayer Leverkusen’s success, playing a crucial role in their title win last season.
Tah’s impressive performances have cemented his status as a club legend at Bayer Leverkusen, where he has spent 10 seasons. His experience and leadership would be a valuable asset to West Ham United, who are looking to build on their recent success.
The 28-year-old defender has announced that he will not extend his contract beyond its expiration date in June next year, making him available for a free transfer as early as January. This news has sparked interest among several clubs, including West Ham United, who have been monitoring his situation closely.
However, with West Ham’s recent signings of Kilman and Todibo, it’s unclear where Tah would fit in. All three defenders are too good to be backups, and it’s likely that Tah would want a guaranteed starting spot. This could lead to a selection headache for manager Julen Lopetegui, who would need to balance the squad’s needs with the players’ individual ambitions.
Despite this challenge, the potential signing of Tah is an exciting prospect for West Ham fans. His experience and quality would undoubtedly strengthen the team’s defense, and his leadership skills would be an asset in the dressing room.
