The Croatian defender enjoyed a productive 2020/21 campaign, registering three goal contributions in 39 appearances with two goals and one assist [Transfermarkt].
He could now be on his way to east London after recent developments which have emerged at the London Stadium.
According to journalist J Montanelli, who has close links to Sky Sports, the Irons have made an offer of around £15m plus add-ons in an attempt to secure the 24-year-old defender this summer [Hammers News].
In light of this news, plenty of West Ham United diehards took to Twitter to voice their opinions on the update.
West Ham fans react
Replying to the official J Montanelli Twitter account, here is what some West Ham fans had to say about the prospect of Duje Caleta-Car pitching up at the London Stadium this summer.
Despite him being a Croatia international who played against England at Euro 2020, many of the Irons faithful were unfamiliar with the 24-year-old and questioned why (or whether) the club would sign him:
“hope its not true. Caleta-Car is as clumsy as Dawson”
