"West Ham United are reportedly preparing a move for Tiago Gabriel, one of Serie A's most promising young defenders, as manager Nuno Espirito Santo looks to strengthen his leaky backline in the January transfer window. According to Football Insider, the Hammers have identified the Lecce centre-back as a potential target as they attempt to fix their defensive frailties heading into the second half of the campaign."
"Tiago Gabriel is somebody that's emerged on the radar. Only 20-years-old so it could be bit of a gamble by West Ham if they were to bring him in and bring him straight into the team. Ideally, I think West Ham would want somebody who can come in straight into the team and hit the ground running in the Premier League because that's what they're going to need in the second half of season if they are to get themselves out of trouble."
West Ham United are preparing a January move for Tiago Gabriel, a 20-year-old centre-back from Lecce, to strengthen a struggling defence. The club has conceded 29 goals in 15 Premier League matches, ranking among the league's worst, and manager Nuno Espirito Santo has prioritized backline improvements. The potential departure of captain Max Kilman has increased the urgency for reinforcements. Recruitment is focused on affordable, high-upside defenders across Europe, and Tiago Gabriel, a 6ft 5in prospect who has impressed in Serie A, has emerged on West Ham's shortlist with interest from Juventus and Brentford.
