West Ham United have reportedly drawn up a three-man shortlist ahead of the next summer's transfer window.
The Hammers were left frustrated in January after they were unable to finalise any deals for a number of their top targets including Leeds United pair Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips as well as Benfica's Darwin Nunez.
According to Fichajes, David Moyes has now identified Lille's in-demand defender Sven Botman, Real Sociedad centre-back Robin Le Normand and Villarreal left-back Pervis Estupinan as three potential targets for next season.
With Angelo Ogbonna, 33, and Craig Dawson, 31, heading towards the latter stages of their careers, West Ham are set to target younger central defenders in the summer, with Botman, 22, and Le Normand, 25, believed to be high on their radar.
Botman, who has heavily linked with a move to Newcastle United last month, is under contract with Lille until June 2025, while Le Normand has a deal with Real Sociedad until the summer of 2024.
As for Estupinan, the Hammers view the former Watford man as an ideal full-back to rival Aaron Cresswell for a place in the starting lineup.
However, the Colombia international moved to the Yellow Submarine for around £15m in September 2020, signing a seven-year deal, so the Spanish outfit are under no pressure to sell the 24-year-old.
