The West Ham defender is reportedly on borrowed time at the London Stadium.
West Ham United defender Winston Reid’s future at the London Stadium is reportedly in doubt and that should alert Everton manager Sam Allardyce, who could form a reunion with the centre-back at Goodison Park.
The Daily Star claim 29-year-old Reid is on “borrowed time” in east London, as David Moyes is considering Swansea City defender Alfie Mawson and Brighton centre-back Lewis Dunk ahead of the summer transfer window.
Reid only signed a new long-term contract at West Ham back in the summer, keeping him at the club until he is aged 34 with the deal lasting until the summer of 2023.
However, the New Zealand international has missed 16 of West Ham’s 34 Premier League matches this season with a multitude of injuries that are expected to keep him sidelined until the summer.
Reid worked under Allardyce during the former England manager’s time at West Ham, and should seriously consider taking him to Everton with the Toffees likely to be in the market for a new centre-back this summer.
Phil Jagielka and Ashley Williams are both entering the final stages of their career, while £25million summer signing Michael Keane is yet to prove his astronomical transfer fee. Ramiro Funes Mori’s has also been linked with a move.
With the Hammers already boasting the likes of youngster Declan Rice and Italy international Angelo Ogbonna at the back, Reid could be set to leave this summer.
Everton would certainly go a long way to solving their centre-back woes with the signing of 6ft 2in powerhouse Reid, who boasts huge Premier League experience with 167 games under his belt in England’s top flight.
