West Ham United are said to be interested in Newcastle United centre-back Angelo Ogbonna.

Jamaal Lascelles and Angelo Ogbonna could form a rock solid centre-back partnership at West Ham United.

West Ham have been heavily linked with the Newcastle United defender in recent times, with The Sun suggesting that they are interested in a summer move.

Lascelles has been in highly impressive form for Newcastle this season, and if he was to move to West Ham he could have the potential to form a really exciting partnership with Ogbonna.

Ogbonna has arguably been West Ham’s most reliable defender this term, and has played a key role for David Moyes’ side.

West Ham have failed to find the Italian international a partner though, and that is why they could benefit from Lascelles’ arrival.

Lascelles has immediately adapted to playing in the Premier League, and become a trusted figure at Newcastle.

The former Nottingham Forest man has also shown great leadership qualities.

And a potential partnership of Ogbonna and Lascelles should excite West Ham fans, as the pair would be seriously tough for opposition strikers to break down.
