West Ham has identified another transfer target. Who does Lopetegui want this time?

A massive squad reset has been declared at West Ham with the arrival of Julen Lopetegui, and new players are expected to appear in a multitude of positions. And the midfield role is no exception.

Thus, according to the Evening Standard, the Hammers are targeting Watford midfielder Ismael Kone, who played 46 games for the Hornets in all competitions last season.

Despite the interest in the 22-year-old, West Ham are well-stocked in central midfield and Lopetegui has more pressing needs elsewhere, especially in defence.

It is the centre of defence that the Spanish manager is paying more attention to. Among the contenders to strengthen West Ham is Wolverhampton centre-back Max Kilman. Earlier we reported about the fact that "wolves" rejected the first offer of the London club in 25 million euros.
