West Ham's new director of player recruitment, Nils Koppen, may recommend Rangers' centre-half John Souttar to head coach Nuno. Leicester City is also currently interested in the player, and several other clubs, including Watford, Sheffield United and Cardiff City, have also been linked with him. Souttar's contract with Rangers runs until May 2027, and the club was reportedly seeking a seven-figure fee for him in July 2026.
