Mats Hummels and a legendary career
Mats Hummels has enjoyed a legendary career, spending his playing days in his homeland since graduating from the youth division at Bayern Munich. The veteran defender has represented only two clubs thus far as a professional, enjoying two stints with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund while winning half a dozen Bundesliga titles.
The 35-year-old has also lifted the FIFA World Cup with Germany, with Die Mannschaft winning the competition in 2014. The experienced centre-back has represented Germany 78 times but might have played his final game for his national side. In addition, Hummels has become a free agent after running down his contract with Borussia Dortmund.
The German defender turned out for the Black and Yellows over 500 times during his two spells while chipping in with 38 goals and 23 assists. Meanwhile, despite his advancing years, Hummels is a man in demand in the market in this summer’s transfer window, with West Ham United among his prospective suitors.
London calling?
Recent reports have pointed to his agents offering Mats Hummels to high-profile Premier League clubs. Meanwhile, the former Borussia Dortmund defender has knocked back offers from Ajax, SL Benfica, LOSC Lille, AS Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen, and Saudi Pro League outfits.
The latest update has also revealed that Brighton & Hove Albion are keen on securing Mats Hummels’s services in the summer transfer window. However, the 35-year-old defender is also considering an offer from West Ham United.
The 78-cap German international will finalise the decision on his next destination this week. So, West Ham will hope to beat the competition to Mats Hummels’s signature as they look to bolster their backline in the final weeks of the summer transfer window.
