Tim Steidten's attempt to sign Mats Hummels for West Ham fell short, as the veteran defender chose AS Roma instead, despite interest from multiple clubs.
Despite being close to signing, Hummels ultimately chose to join AS Roma over West Ham following conversations with Tottenham and other European options.
Hummels, linked with many clubs due to his talents as a 2014 World Cup winner, leaves West Ham with a defensive gap after key departures.
West Ham faces a pressing need for center-backs after losing several players, and may need to look at the free agent market after the window closes.
