West Ham United would be wise to make a fresh move for the Hull City defender.
As reported by Sky Sports back in the summer, West Ham United failed with a £7million bid for Hull City defender Andrew Robertson, but despite Aaron Cresswell’s subsequent return to fitness the Hammers would be wise to try their hand again 12 months on.
Cresswell may have rediscovered his fitness but his form has been woefully short of what he showed last season, and while that may return in time, West Ham need to strengthen all across the back line.
While a new right-back is vital this summer, Robertson would offer competition down the opposite flank and with his contract expiring in the summer of 2018 he could be available for a cut-price fee.
If he does not sign a new deal in the interim, Hull will certainly have a decision to make, knowing that they would risk losing him for nothing a year later.
Much could also depend on what division the Tigers find themselves in next season and West Ham should at least chance their hand, with the 23-year-old possessing all the attributes to be a long-term success at the London Stadium.
Robertson may not be the star name West Ham fans are craving but he could prove to be one of their best signings of recent years if they get him second time around.
