Versatile 31-year-old English star is offered to West Ham United

West Ham United are weighing up the possibility of signing Eric Dier after the experienced defender was offered to the club, according to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg.

While talks are not advanced at this stage, the opportunity is being viewed internally as one worth exploring, especially given West Ham’s ongoing search for defensive reinforcements for the second half of the 2025/26 season.

Dier remains under contract with AS Monaco until 2028, but his role in the squad has gradually diminished over recent months.

Monaco are understood to be open to evaluating offers for the 31-year-old should a suitable proposal arrive, potentially creating an avenue for the player to return to the Premier League nearly two years after leaving Tottenham.

West Ham have struggled defensively this season, with inconsistent performances and injuries affecting the back line.

Nuno Espirito Santo has made defensive stability a priority, and the club has been actively exploring the market for an experienced centre-back who can slot in immediately.

Dier has made over 360 appearances for Tottenham in various roles, including centre-back, right-back, and defensive midfield.

Monaco’s willingness to listen to offers makes the deal financially viable.

While West Ham have yet to submit a formal bid, internal discussions are ongoing.

The Hammers are aware that signing a defender of Dier’s profile in January, experienced, adaptable, and immediately ready, is not easy, which is why this opportunity is not being dismissed.

Despite reduced minutes, Dier has maintained full fitness throughout the winter and is reportedly open to a Premier League return if the right project emerges.

West Ham are not the only club informed of Dier’s availability. A handful of Premier League sides, including teams in the lower half of the table, have monitored his status, though none have made a concrete approach.

West Ham, however, remain the club with the clearest need and strongest internal interest so far.
