West Ham in touch with Joel Veltman’s representatives

West Ham are interested in signing the Ajax defender Joel Veltman this summer.

According to De Telegraaf, the Hammers have been in touch with the 27-year-old’s representatives and the player is thought to be keen on a transfer away from the Dutch club.

Veltman has one year left on his deal and he will be a free agent next summer. Ajax might look to sell him this summer if he doesn’t sign an extension.

West Ham could use a reliable centre back and Veltman would be ideal. He could be Diop’s partner in defence next season.
