Talks between ex-BVB professional Zagadou and West Ham – Lyon on it too

According to RMC Sport

For Dan-Axel Zagadou (23), who is currently without a club, there are apparently options for signing a contract even after the end of the summer transfer window. As “RMC Sports“ reported, West Ham United and Olympique Lyon are currently courting for the defender, whose contract with BVB expired after five years. Although the Frenchman has attracted a lot of interest in recent months, as a look at the TM rumor mill shows, there has been no transfer so far. This could change soon.

According to the report, Zagadou is in advanced negotiations for a move with West Ham. Specifically, it should be a four-year contract. Zagadou would be the ninth addition to the Hammers this season, which has seen €182m spent on the transfer market so far. So far, a fee has been paid for each reinforcement.

Although there are already five central defenders in the West Ham squad, the working papers of Craig Dawson (32) and Angelo Ogbonna (34) will expire at the end of the season. Both are currently no longer as supplementary players. In addition, Nayef Aguerd (26) is currently out of action due to injury, which is why coach David Moyes is fully relying on Kurt Zouma (27) and Thilo Kehrer (25), at least in the league. Although West Ham “only” conceded eight goals in six games, which is an average value, they are 18th.

In addition to the English, Olympique Lyon is also considered an interested party. The French are coached by Peter Bosz, who knows Zagadou from their days together at BVB. The defender played 15 games under the coach. Despite having four central defenders at his disposal, including Jérôme Boateng (34), the Dutchman continues to look for defensive reinforcements. However, West Ham are said to be ahead of the pack when it comes to courting Zagadou. The former French junior international is about to make his second move in the men’s division.
