Media reports claim that West Ham are keeping tabs on Waldemar Anton, who currently plays as a defender for Dortmund. The move is still in the early stages, but interest appears to be growing. West Ham are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Aston Villa and Tottenham are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. So far in this season, West Ham are conceding 1.83 goals a game (55 in 30), more than they'd like compared to the Premier League standard. The hope is Waldemar Anton adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Alongside this, Dortmund are said to be exploring Archie Gray, Angelo Stiller and Jadon Sancho with West Ham likewise connected to Axel Disasi. More on this story as it develops.
