West Ham submit £15m bid for Aguerd
Aguerd‘s value has rocketed since he joined Rennes from Dijon last summer for a fee of around £3.6million
West Ham United have reportedly tabled a £15million bid for Rennes defender Nayef Aguerd.
Aguerd is a top West Ham target as they look to strengthen with a new senior central defender, Football Insider reveals.
But the Ligue 1 club are expected to reject it as they look to keep hold of their star centre-back.
Rennes are playing hardball and the Hammers could have to turn to alternative targets if they continue to do so.
Manager David Moyes is expected to bring in a new centre-back before the end of the transfer window.
The Irons are prepared to pay a significant sum for Moroccan International despite operating within a restricted transfer budget.
West Ham have received encouraging bulletins from talent spotters about Aguerd, who can also slot in at left-back.
Aguerd‘s value has rocketed since he joined Rennes from Dijon last summer for a fee of around £3.6million.
The Rennes star had an impressive debut campaign at the side that finished 17th in last season’s Ligue 1, making 35 league starts among 40 appearances in all competitions.
