West Ham United are reportedly eyeing a summer move for Mexican defender Johan Vasquez from Italian club Genoa.
The 25-year-old central defender has been a standout performer for Genoa last season, attracting interest from the Hammers.
Vasquez, who has been labeled as a ‘dominant’ player, is available for a fee in the region of €10m (£8.5m).
The versatile defender has already rejected offers from other clubs, with a strong belief that he could join West Ham this summer’s transfer window.
The Hammers have made contact with Genoa about signing Vasquez, and the player himself has given the green light to the potential move.
West Ham are keen to bolster their defensive options, and Vasquez’s ability to play in multiple positions across the backline makes him an attractive target.
At 25 years old, Vasquez has already gained valuable experience playing in Serie A with Genoa. His dominant performances and willingness to join West Ham could make him a valuable addition to Julen Lopetegui‘ squad as they look to build on their not impressive 2023/24 campaign.
The potential signing of Vasquez is part of West Ham’s ongoing efforts to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
With the Hammers set to compete for European positions, Lopetegui will be looking to add depth and quality to his team to ensure they can compete on multiple fronts.
