West Ham must move for ex-Premier League star | OneFootball

West Ham United’s signings of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Max Kilman and Jean-Clair Todibo have done nothing to tighten the gaping holes in their defence.

The Hammers are still missing a crucial piece in their backline. They need experience and leadership, and a useful option could be available next summer.

According to German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Eric Dier will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season on a free transfer, with his contract unlikely to be extended.

The former Tottenham Hotspur centre-half is an experienced figure who can help shore up West Ham’s shoddy defence.

He spent around ten years in the Premier League between 2014 and 2024. The 30-year-old left to join Thomas Tuchel in Bayern Munich.

He took Matthijs De Ligt’s starting berth and became a popular figure at the club, bu he has struggled for opportunities since Tuchel left.

The 49-cap England international is behind Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae in the pecking order but has been solid when called upon.

Dier is an experienced customer who is solid on the ball, and perhaps he could help West Ham shore things up at the back.

His Premier League experience, leadership, and defensive prowess could be the missing piece to their struggling backline.
