According to CaughtOffside, West Ham United are keen on signing RC Lens centre-back Kevin Danso in the ongoing transfer window. The Hammers want to bolster their defensive line and see the defender as an ideal addition.
Kevin Danso is doing really well for RC Lens
Kevin Danso joined RC Lens in the summer of 2021 and has been a consistent performer since then. He has established himself as a mainstay in the squad and is considered one of the best centre-backs in the league.
Danso has been a standout performer in the ongoing campaign so far. He has featured in 13 games, appearing over 1100 minutes. He is averaging 1.5 tackles, 1.5 interceptions, and 4.7 clearances per game (stats via whoscored).
The Austrian defender is physically strong and puts in tough tackles. He is aggressive in nature and likes to move higher on the pitch, staying close to the attackers. He marks an aerial dominance and also provides accurate key passes.
Kevin Danso has interest from a couple of clubs
West Ham United are struggling under their new think-tank boss Julen Lopetegui. Their defensive woes are visible to everyone, which they need to fix. Hence, Kevin Danso could be a good target in the ongoing transfer window.
Danso has already proved himself at RC Lens and he has prior Premier League experience. He would be keen to return to the English league and take his career to new heights. He can be a great long-term acquisition for the hammers.
The French side are reportedly open to selling the 26-year-old for €25-30 million fee. It remains to be seen if West Ham United will move forward with an official approach or not. Apart from them, Newcastle United are also keeping tabs on the player.
