West Ham are ready to make a £15 million price cut for Harry Maguire

WEST HAM boss David Moyes is planning a new bid for Manchester United and England centre-back Harry Maguire this summer.

Moyes is keen to bring in a defender who can win headers after realizing his Hammers side are lacking in that area.

And the Scot returns to Maguire as an ideal man to fill the vacancy – months after first trying to sign him from Old Trafford.

The move failed last time as United wanted too much for the out-of-favour Maguire, 31.

And the centre-back wouldn’t accept a huge pay cut to make the move more likely.

However, the Irons will try again and hope the asking price has dropped enough to allow the signing.

And with Maguire nearing the end of his lucrative contract, he may be more open to a deal in London that would extend his time in the Premier League.

Maguire still has a year left on his contract in Manchester, with the club still having a one-season option if they want him to stay.

But Maguire could be available again in the summer if his sale means he can cash in and create space for some newcomers.

The £85m signing in 2019 forced his way back into the squad before he was injured.

But he will only have real transfer value for one more period.

West Ham could be willing to pay between £15m and £20m.

And they could offer Maguire a two- or three-year contract, which would be tempting.

The English defender has made 23 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring twice.

He could be fit to play in Sunday’s FA Cup tie against Liverpool after Friday’s training.
