West Ham explore move for talented Udinese defender | OneFootball

West Ham have reportedly come forward to start exploring a move for Udinese centre back Nehuen Perez this summer.

The 23-year-old Argentinian centre back has been with the Friulian outfit since the summer of 2021, initially joining on loan from Atletico Madrid before a permanent move was made for around €8m the following year, when he signed a five-year deal.

Perez has continued to impress at Udinese over the last few years, proving himself a talented and flexible centre back. In the January transfer window, Napoli tried to make a move for the 23-year-old, drawing up an offer worth around €16m plus add-ons.
