Player linked with Sporting could join Mateus Fernandes at West Ham | OneFootball

Eric Dier is being strongly linked with a transfer to West Ham as early as January. The experienced English central defender could thus become a teammate of Mateus Fernandes, the talented midfielder trained at Sporting, at the historic London club. The possibility of an immediate return to the Premier League is gaining more and more momentum in this winter transfer window.

West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes keeping an eye on Eric Dier

According to information provided by journalist Florian Plettenberg, West Ham officials have shown great interest in signing the British international. Although the concrete details of the deal have not yet been fully revealed, the sports press guarantees that negotiations could move forward very soon to strengthen the London side’s defense.

It’s worth recalling that the versatile player only arrived in the principality at the start of this season. He joined Monaco on a free transfer after ending his contract with the giant Bayern Munich. His experience in Ligue 1 could thus be extremely short if his return to England is confirmed in the coming weeks.

Defender was linked with Sporting

Before signing a valid contract with the Monegasques, Eric Dier’s name was repeatedly linked to a possible return to Sporting. However, the move to Estádio José Alvalade, where he trained before heading to Tottenham in 2014, ultimately did not materialize, dashing the hopes of many Sporting fans.

This season, wearing the Monaco shirt, Eric Dier – valued at 7 million euros – has played in nine matches: six in Ligue 1, two in the Champions League, and one in the French Cup. In the 810 minutes he has been on the pitch, the defender, who has a contract until June 2028, has scored two goals.
