West Ham could reignite their interest in Duje Caleta-Car this summer according to a report from The Athletic.

Hammers boss David Moyes will be keen to bolster his centre-back ranks at the London Stadium this summer.
Fabian Balbuena is set to leave West Ham whilst Angelo Ogbonna and Craig Dawson are 33 and 31 respectively.
Meanwhile, the jury is still very much out on Issa Diop.
One centre-back we have been consistently linked with since January is Marseille ace Duje Caleta-Car (The Express and Foot Mercato).
And La Provence claims that the Ligue 1 outfit have transfer listed the 12-capped Croatia international for around £17 million.
West Ham to reignite Caleta-Car interest?
The 24-year-old is once again on the Hammers’ radar according to The Athletic.
What a superb signing Caleta-Car would be for West Ham this summer.
In 33 Ligue 1 appearances for Marseille this season, the 24-year-old has scored two goals and registered one assist. In those outings, the Croatian has averaged 0.9 tackles, 1.3 interceptions and 3.9 clearances per game. He also won an average of 2.5 aerial duals per match (Who Scored).
The Croatian is also very good with the ball at his feet. From an average of 57.4 passes per game this season in Ligue 1, Caleta-Car recorded an impressive completion rate of 86.1% (Who Scored).
Well-renowned football analysis and scouting website IBWM recently described Caleta-Car as an ‘exceptional talent’.
Standing at 6ft 4in tall, the 24-year-old is an absolute monster in the air. He is exactly the kind of signing we should be making.
