Having received the news that Ogbonna will likely be out for the season, now is the perfect time for us to bring in his long-term successor.
This thread features my preferred LCB candidates to come in and form a partnership with Zouma.
RTs appreciated.
The first thing to mention is that I did all of my scouting/research last week, so player metrics are not inclusive of the past weekend's fixtures.
Secondly, I won't go into depth here about the model I've built to identify players, but if you're interested then drop me a DM.

WORLDWIDE U21 STs
Every fan dreams of a prolific, talismanic striker, something we've often lacked at West Ham.
Thankfully, there are plenty of young STs around the world for #WHUFC to monitor; this thread will highlight a few of them for you to keep an eye on in the future.
Given that most of these are youth players, I figured comparing them to West Ham starters would be unsuitable.
Instead, I'll be doing individual radars where the edge of the graph represents peak performance in that metric, so the closer to the edge, the better the player.
This thread has taken me a hot minute, but finally, after a lot of time and effort, it is here.
It features some of the players that we've been linked with in three key positions - ST, CB, and CM - as well as a few of my own recommendations.
The metrics I have used to create the radar charts are largely the same as in previous threads, and so I will not list them all here.
If, however, there are any metrics that you aren't sure about, then just ask and I'll let you know!
