West Ham plot move for in-demand star – but direction still unclear

Ivor Pandur has emerged as a key figure for Hull City this season, with his performances attracting growing interest most notably from West Ham United.

The goalkeeper’s form has also earned him a call-up to the Croatia national football team squad for upcoming fixtures against Colombia national football team and Brazil national football team.

While he had previously been selected at international level, his rising influence in the Championship has elevated his profile further.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the 26-year-old is now on the radar of multiple clubs, including Torino and West Ham. His recent international inclusion is viewed as a significant milestone, with expectations that he could feature in the upcoming friendlies.

Torino’s interest is partly driven by uncertainty in their goalkeeping department. Franco Israel has struggled to establish himself since joining, while Roberto Paleari is not seen as a long-term solution. However, West Ham’s continued monitoring of Pandur may complicate any potential move.

With Hull City currently sitting fifth in the Championship standings, Pandur’s value continues to rise. His contract runs until 2027, positioning 2026 as a realistic window for a transfer, although the club’s valuation remains unclear.

Interest from West Ham is not new. Previous reports also originating from Tuttomercatoweb linked the goalkeeper with moves to both England and Italy, suggesting sustained attention from multiple markets. Such coverage may also reflect efforts to increase the player’s visibility amid his strong performances.

At West Ham, current goalkeeping options include Alphonse Areola and Łukasz Fabiański, with changes expected in the upcoming transfer window. In that context, Pandur represents a viable candidate as the club evaluates its long-term options in goal.
