Wigan Athletic defender Cedric Kipre is reportedly attracting attention from West Ham United.

Although the Hammers are yet to retain their Premier League status for another 12 months, David Moyes may be restricted in the transfer market over the coming months due to the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic.

According to the Daily Mail, this has resulted in the East London outfit expressing an interest in Kipre.

With Wigan having been placed into administration, they are open to offers for all of their players, who are currently attempting to keep the Latics in the Championship.

In the absence of regular centre-back partner Cheyenne Dunkley, Kipre has played a crucial role, helping Wigan keep 10 clean sheets in their last 11 fixtures.

The report claims that teams in Germany are also admirers of the player.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly intending to follow up their previous interest in Middlesbrough defender Djed Spence.

At a time when Jose Mourinho is assessing the right-back situation at the Premier League outfit, Spence has been making an impact at Boro.

The 19-year-old has made a total of 22 appearances for the Championship side this season, two of which came against Spurs in the FA Cup.

Although Spurs have relented when it has come to making an offer in the past, ESPN claims that an official approach is expected during the summer.

The report claims that Spurs will not be put off if Boro demand, as expected, in the region of £10m for the prospect.

Nevertheless, with just two years left on his contract, Spurs will hope to negotiate a lower fee due to the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic.
