According to multiple sources, negotiations are underway regarding Eric Dier, with West Ham keen to finalise a deal with Monaco as they look to strengthen their squad for the run-in. The defender has emerged as a top transfer target in recent weeks, and the player's representatives are also believed to be involved in early discussions on personal terms. Whether a deal can be struck remains to be seen, but there is increasing optimism that the transfer could go through in the coming days. The transfer remains in progress, and with no other clubs involved, West Ham look to be negotiating from a comfortable position. This season (25/26) West Ham have shipped 43 goals in 21 matches - 2.05 a game, which is well above the Premier League average. Eric Dier would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back. Monaco have also been linked with Wout Faes, Boubakary Soumare and El Chadaille Bitshiabu while West Ham are reportedly monitoring Alpha Toure, Andreas Schjelderup and John McGinn.
