West Ham Transfers: 5 Central Defenders To Target From The Championship
3. Clint Hill (QPR)
If its experience that Sam Allardyce is looking for then QPRs Clint Hill might just be the answer: the 35-year-old has been one of the most in-form players in the Championship this season with an average rating of 7.49. He would offer West Ham the know-how after playing over 500 games in all competitions. The Hammers would also know that Hill has the experience of playing Premier League football in the past as recently as last season. As he is currently at a London club, any move to West Ham should be a relatively simple one; he also would offer Allardyce options with the ability to operate either as a left back or central defender, something that might come in useful. The players stats this season include 1.7 tackles, 1.5 interceptions, 9 clearances and 0.7 blocked shots per game; he has also contributed a goal and an assist this season. Hill has certainly been around the block in his career playing for Tranmere, Oldham, Stoke, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and QPR.
