Antonio Rudiger has no interest in joining West Ham United, the Telegraph report.

West Ham reportedly believed they were leading the race for Rudiger (Daily Mirror), but it seems that they have been dealt a blow in their bid to sign him.

That is because the Chelsea defender, who was described as ‘quality’ by ex-Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo (BBC), is not keen on a move to the London Stadium.

West Ham have no European football on offer, and the potential switch apparently does not enthuse the German.

Rudiger’s reluctance to join West Ham is yet another blow for David Moyes’s side in their search for a centre-back.

Moyes had made strengthening his side’s defence one of his top priorities heading into the window, but West Ham now head into deadline day without one central defender arriving this summer.

West Ham have recently been linked with a number of high profile names, but have failed to get a deal over the line.

And it seems that their chances of signing Rudiger are now also over.
