West Ham are interested in a move for Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin this month.
According to The Mirror, West Ham are keen on the defensive midfielder, as they look to bolster their midfield options.
The report claims that West Ham have failed with moves for Stoke’s Joe Allen and Newcastle’s Jonjo Shelvey, with Coquelin next on their list.
Arsenal are ready to let Coquelin leave this month after he lost his place in Arsene Wenger’s team.
Coquelin wants regular game time, which Wenger can no longer guarantee, leaving him with no choice but to seek a way out.
West Ham are looking to offer him an escape route, to the Olympic Stadium, as David Moyes looks to move in.
The 26-year-old was omitted from the matchday squad for Arsenal on Sunday as they fell to a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Championship side Nottingham Forest.
The report claims Arsenal want around £10m for Coquelin.
