West Ham linked with Leicester defender Ben Nelson
West Ham have been linked with a summer move for Leicester City centre-back Ben Nelson, but this is an interest report rather than a negotiation. West Ham Blog says West Ham and Manchester United are strongly interested in the 22-year-old. Its account does not say West Ham have contacted Leicester, held talks or made a bid.
Leicester are reported to want £10 million for Nelson, whose contract is said to run until June 2027. Torino's opening offer of around €7 million (£6 million) was reportedly rejected by Leicester. That bid is rival-club context, not evidence of movement from West Ham.
