Leicester City's 22-year-old English centre-back, Ben Nelson, is reportedly being considered by West Ham United, which is looking to strengthen its defence. According to The West Ham Way, Nelson is one of several targets from English clubs being considered, and Southampton's Taylor Harwood-Bellis is also mentioned as a potential option. The defender joined Leicester in July 2023 and is under contract until 2027. He has also been linked with Torino. In June 2026, media reports suggested a potential transfer fee of approximately £5-6 million. In July 2026, it was reported that Leicester City rejected an official bid for the player from Torino. Transfermarkt estimates Nelson's current market value to be €1.50m.
