Championship club West Ham United will keep a close watch on Rangers defender Emmanuel Fernandez during a preseason match. The club is considering a move for the Super Eagles centre-back this summer, as reported by Football Insider.
West Ham wants to boost their defense as they aim to return to the Premier League after being relegated last season. Fernandez has made it to their shortlist after a strong first season in Scotland.
The 24-year-old joined Rangers from Peterborough United. He quickly became important to the Gers’ defense, playing 33 matches last season and scoring six goals. This shows his strength in defense and ability to score from set pieces.
Fernandez is likely to play when Rangers meet West Ham in their last preseason match before the Scottish Premiership starts against Dundee United on July 31. This game will give West Ham’s recruitment team a chance to see him up close.
Bringing in Fernandez would be a big move for West Ham. They are looking to build a squad that can seriously challenge for promotion in the Championship.
