View: West Ham must match reported £8m plus add-ons bid for 26-year-old to bolster top-six PL chances
Loss of Nordtveit
Although Havard Nordtveit flopped at the London Stadium after joining Bilic’s side on a free transfer from Borussia Monchengladbach, he still needs to be replaced.
The Norway international has moved back to the top tier of German football and joined Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim, after struggling to come to terms with the pace of the Premier League.
Despite his form, Nordtveit’s departure means the Hammers have just three first-team central midfielders and bringing de Roon to east London would not only add quality but cover too.
