West Ham are in talks with Lyon over the signing of Republic of Ireland international defender Jake O'Brien.

West Ham are the frontrunners for O'Brien's signature. West Ham are desperate for a defender this summer with new boss Julen Lopetegui eyeing his old captain at Wolves Max Kilman, though an initial bid was rejected. If a deal cannot be clinched with Wolves, the Hammers will move swiftly on to other targets - of which O'Brien is one of the top alternatives.

Jake O’Brien has attracted interest from multiple clubs. West Ham has added the Irish defender to their shortlist of priority targets. West Ham is also in discussions with Wolverhampton for Max Kilman but may turn their attention to Jake O’Brien due to a high price for Kilman.
