West Ham United have been linked with quite a few defenders in recent months and the latest name linked with them is that of the Napoli star Nikola Maksimovic.
The experienced 29 year old will be a free agent later this summer and the Hammers are currently vying for his services.
According to Plaza Deportiva, the Spanish side Valencia are keen on signing the experienced defender as well.
SL View: Would be a bargain signing for West Ham
David Moyes needs to add more depth to his defensive department and Maksimovic would be a superb acquisition on a free transfer. The Hammers will need a bigger squad to cope with European fixtures next year, and bringing in experienced options like Maksimovic on a bargain could prove to be a smart decision.
The 29-year-old Serbian will add defensive depth and experience to the side. He would be an upgrade on the likes of Craig Dawson.
The Hammers must do everything in their power to lure the Napoli player to the Premier League this summer. His arrival would not only strengthen the defence but it would also allow the Hammers to spend the money on the other areas of the squad whilst also improving the back four.
The London club can offer Maksimovic the chance to play Europa League football next season and the opportunity to play in the Premier League is an attractive proposition as well.
Apparently, the defender fancies a move to the Spanish league and it remains to be seen whether the Londoners can convince him to move to England instead.
