West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing Héctor Fort from Barcelona during the summer transfer window. Barcelona have already been contacted regarding the player. Fort is said to be open to joining another club this summer, although he prefers a loan move with the intention of returning to Barcelona next season to establish himself as a key player. Spanish publication SPORT mentioned that it remains to be seen if Barcelona will allow the player to leave. Should West Ham secure the loan deal, this acquisition could provide much-needed quality and depth to their defensive unit, which has been struggling in the early weeks of the season. Everton have also shown interest in Fort, who, as a talented young defender, requires regular game time, an opportunity he is unlikely to receive at Barcelona. Regular play in the Premier League could enhance his development, making a move to West Ham beneficial for him.
