West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool have all been linked with a move for the Besiktas centre-back.

Quite where Domagoj Vida will be playing his football this season is anyone’s guess, with the likes of Liverpool, West Ham and Tottenham all thought to be interested in obtaining his signature.

Turkish media outlet Fanatik claims that Liverpool have tabled a bid for the Croatian, whilst Aksam reports that West Ham have also submitted an offer for the centre-back.

Meanwhile, Aspor suggest that Tottenham have made an offer for the 29-year-old too.

Which club should Vida choose, though?

Liverpool

With the jury still out on Dejan Lovren at Anfield, there could very well be a place up for grabs in the Reds’ starting XI.

Jürgen Klopp is on the verge of achieving something very special at Liverpool, and Vida would surely be excited at the prospect of joining the Merseyside giants.

Much will depend on whether Manuel Pellegrini opts to play with two or three central defenders.

If the Chilean chooses to play three at the back, there will certainly be room for Vida to nail down a regular starting spot in east London.

Tottenham

Mauricio Pochettino will definitely be looking to bolster his central defensive ranks at White Hart Lane this summer, with Toby Alderweireld facing an uncertain future in north London.

If the Belgian does end up leaving Spurs, there could be a place for Vida to play regularly, but only if Poch opts to play three at the back, with Jan Vertonghen and Davinson Sanchez almost certainties to be regular starters this season.

In conclusion, it seems as though Liverpool might be Vida’s best option.

He will have more chance of playing regularly at Anfield than he would at either West Ham or Tottenham, whilst having a much greater chance of winning major honours as well.
