West Ham are reportedly targeting Swansea’s Gylfi Sigurdsson and Chelsea forward, Michy Batshuayi to replace Dimitri Payet.
The French midfielder shocked the club by telling them he wanted to leave following their dip in form this season.
The Express claim that the London outfit will try to lure Batshuayi to the club on a permanent transfer after failing to land him both in the summer, as well as on a loan move already this month.
Batshuayi could be Chelsea’s third-choice striker by the end of January with the league leaders targeting a move for Swansea’s Fernando Llorente, who wants to link up with Antonio Conte again.
While Sigurdsson has often displayed his quality in the Premier League, the Icelandic midfielder has scored five goals already this season.
The report suggests that West Ham’s hand may be forced in January with Payet after rejecting a bid believed to be in the region of £20 million from Marseille. A higher bid may be enough to fund the two moves.
