West Ham put QPR defender Rob Dickie on transfer shortlist
West Ham are reportedly keen on signing QPR centre-back Rob Dickie in the summer.
According to 90Min, the Hammers have placed the 6 foot 4 inch defender on David Moyes’ shortlist.
The club are believed to be keen on signing a centre-back in the summer and have been linked with the 25-year-old in the past as well.
Fits the Moyes blueprint
Tall centre-backs who are good in the air are the kinds of players Moyes likes to work with.
While the game has moved on to centre-backs who play out from the back, the Scotsman still has a penchant for the old school defenders.
Dickie fits the Moyes blueprint perfectly and we will not be surprised if the club make a serious attempt to lure him away from Loftus Road in the summer.
In his first season at the club which was 2020/21, Dickie won Supporters’ Player of the Year, Players’ Player of the Year and Goal of the Season for his spectacular strike at Middlesbrough back in April.
The Englishman is an all-action defender who is extremely robust with his tackles.
He would prove to be a low-risk signing for Moyes in the summer and he must be joined by a more experienced defender so as to bolster the Hammers’ defensive ranks.
