WEST HAM ABOUT TO CHANGE EVERYTHING! They’re Desperate to Sign Frank Lampard’s Dream Monster CB – The One Player Who Can Save Their Season Overnight!

Nuno Espirito Santo’s West Ham side have endured a difficult campaign defensively, conceding more goals than any other team in the Premier League so far, with 43 strikes shipped this season.

That alarming record has left the club in a perilous position as the relegation battle intensifies.

The Hammers have already attempted to address problems at the opposite end of the pitch by bringing in Pablo and Taty Castellanos during the January transfer window, easing some of their attacking concerns.

Attention has now shifted toward strengthening other key areas of the squad, particularly in defence.

With their situation growing increasingly precarious, West Ham know that several new faces are still required if they are to pull clear of danger and secure top-flight survival. Reinforcements at the back have become a priority.

West Ham eye Coventry defender as shortlist emerges

Although the London Stadium outfit were previously linked with Roggerio Nyakossi, the defender now appears likely to remain in Belgium with OH Leuven.

As a result, West Ham have reportedly moved on to alternative options.

According to a Daily Mail report dated 15 January, Coventry City centre-back Bobby Thomas has been added to a four-man defensive shortlist.

The report also claims Newcastle United captain Jamaal Lascelles, Braga’s Bright Arrey-Mbi, and Toulouse defender Charlie Cresswell are being monitored as potential targets by the struggling Premier League side.

Frank Lampard admiration highlights Thomas’ appeal

Thomas has become an integral figure for Coventry this season, making 22 appearances for Frank Lampard’s Championship-leading side.

He has missed just four matches during the Sky Blues’ impressive surge to the top of the table, where they currently sit six points clear with 20 games remaining.

After Thomas delivered a man-of-the-match performance in Coventry’s 3-1 victory over Sheffield United in November, Lampard was full of praise.

He highlighted the defender’s development, describing him as a “big, powerful centre-half” whose all-round game continues to improve.

Given his importance, Lampard would be reluctant to lose Thomas mid-season, meaning West Ham may need to submit a significant offer.

The 24-year-old would represent a promising and much-needed addition to Nuno’s defence, especially with the club seven points from safety and leaking goals.

Of the reported options, Thomas arguably stands out as the most appealing choice.
