West Ham United are thought to be keen to improve their defence over the summer.

West Ham United should make a move to re-unite Manuel Pellegrini and Matija Nastasic.

Pellegrini was actually in charge at Manchester City when Nastasic was sold to Schalke, but the pair still retain a good relationship.

Indeed, after he was moved on Nastasic publicly stated that he had no issues with Pellegrini, as reported by the Guardian.

And West Ham could now benefit from bringing the Serbian international to the London Stadium.

The Hammers are thought to be on the look out for a new centre-back, and Nastasic would be an improvement on their current options.

When Pellegrini last worked with Nastasic he was still a youngster learning the game, but his time at Schalke has seen the centre-back develop into an excellent defender.

Nastasic now has experience of playing in the Champions League, Germany’s top flight and at international level.

And if West Ham could bring the 25-year-old to the London Stadium, he would be a fine addition to Pellegrini’s squad for next season.
