Report: West Ham United plotting move for Rangers right-back James Tavernier

According to TEAMtalk, West Ham United are plotting a move for Rangers right-back James Tavernier as we enter into the last week of the summer transfer window.

David Moyes’ side will be without the injured Ryan Fredericks until at least after the international break, with Ben Johnson their only available option at right-back at the moment.

West Ham lost Jeremey Ngakia to Watford at the end of last season while Pablo Zabaleta retired, and are keen to strengthen at the position and are considering a bid for Tavernier.

The 28-year-old has also been linked with Burnley and Brighton after he ended last season with 15 assists and three goals, but it’s the Hammers who are set to make an offer.
