1 Marcos Rojo

West Ham have entered the running to sign Argentine defender Marcos Rojo.

Sam Allardyce is desperate to sign another left-back and has been strongly linked with a move for Nice defender Timothee Kolodziejczak.

But reports in Portugal claim the east London club are also tracking the progress of Sporting Lisbon full-back Rojo, who is currently playing at the World Cup in Brazil.

The 24-year-old has attracted interest from Liverpool and Juventus and showed his quality once again when he scored for Argentina during their 3-2 win over Nigeria.

West Ham boss Allardyce needs to sign another left-back after releasing George McCartney during the summer and ending Pablo Armero’s loan spell and could make his move for Rojo in the near future.
