According to HITC, West Ham United and Mats Hummels’ representation have discussed the player’s potential free transfer signing.
The news outlet stated on their website on June 17 that after he left Borussia Dortmund at the end of his contract, the players’ representation have gotten in touch with many Premier League teams.
Hummels was a key member of the side that reached the Champions League final in the 2023/24 season and also won the World Cup with Germany back in 2014, and Julen Lopetegui is keen to add to his defensive options this summer.
West Ham United to sign Mats Hummels?
Hummels is one of the best defenders of his generation and in his prime was arguably the very best in the world, but he is 35-years-old now.
He was never the quickest but with the ball at his feet he still is one of the best around, and there is no doubting that whoever manages to sign him this summer will be getting an absolute coup.
The seasoned German has all the physical qualities needed to thrive in the Premier League, and new defenders are needed given the uncertainty surrounding the futures of captain Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd [Hakim Zhouri, May 11].
Angelo Ogbonna has also already left and Hummels would be able to step into the starting lineup with relative ease and potentially even lift the level of the team.
It would be a brilliant signing but a lot will come down to what offers he gets and what his priorities are, but the Hammers should definitely be interested.
