Mateo Kovacic is reportedly at the centre of ongoing transfer discussions between West Ham and Manchester City . The midfielder has attracted serious transfer interest in recent weeks, and talks are now in progress to see if there's a deal to be done. Sources close to the deal suggest negotiations are active, with both sides working to find common ground over the player's potential move. Talks are underway, and with no competition emerging, West Ham are seen as the sole contenders for the player's signature. West Ham's 25/26 record of 2.05 goals conceded per game shows they're missing balance in midfield. Someone like Mateo Kovacic could give them more structure and help them manage games. Manchester City continue to be linked with Antonio Fernandez Casino, Alex Scott and Amar Dedic while West Ham are also rumoured to be tracking Kaelan Casey, Dan Neill and Filip Jorgensen.
