West Ham United join the chase for Nwaiwu

West Ham United have entered the pursuit of Super Eagles defender Chibuike Nwaiwu, according to the DAILY POST.

Fulham are said to be ahead in the race for the centre‑back, but the Hammers have now expressed interest.

West Ham’s €30 million bid for the player was rejected by Trabzonspor, Taka Gazete reports.

Trabzonspor has also turned down two offers from Fulham for Nwaiwu.

The Black Sea Storm are holding out for €35 million to sell the Nigerian international.

Nwaiwu joined Trabzonspor from Austrian club Wolfsberger AC in January.

The 22‑year‑old recorded three goals and one assist in 16 league appearances for the Claret and Blues during the second half of last season.
