Struggling with injuries at left-back, West Ham have been offered the chance to sign free agent defender Kevin Constant, report the Mirror.
West Ham lost first-choice left-back Aaron Cresswell to a long-term knee injury following a challenge suffered in a pre-season friendly against Karlsruher in July. The club not that they hope to welcome him back after the October international break – around three weeks time.
With no first-team stand-in, the Hammers dipped into the transfer market and signed 22-year-old Arthur Masuaku from Olympiakos in a £6.2m deal. After an indifferent start to his Hammers career, the Frenchman went down with a knee injury against Accrington Stanley and has been ruled out for at least six weeks.
In the 3-0 home defeat to Southampton, the Hammers played Alvaro Arbeloa at left-back to fill the void, but could take a look at available free agents to add cover in the short-term.
Constant, 29, is a free agent after being released by Bologna in the summer and has been training with Ligue 1 side OGC Nice to maintain fitness levels while he looks for a club.
The former AC Milan and Genoa left-back has had his representatives reach out to West Ham but it remains to be seen if the Hammers will pursue him.
