Leicester City have been linked with the centre back as well and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

It will be interesting to see if Pellegrini can get the deal across the line now. With just a week left in the transfer window, the Hammers will have to move quickly if they want to secure the deal.

Leicester City have lost Maguire to Manchester United and they are likely to pursue a defender as well. West Ham will not want to be drawn into a bidding war with the Foxes.
