West Ham would be interested in the prospect of signing Danny Drinkwater from Chelsea in January.
The Daily Mail claims that the Hammers could bring the player to the London Stadium on the basis that it would be a cut-price deal.
Drinkwater is widely expected to leave Chelsea in the summer after falling out of favour under Maurizio Sarri.
The ex-Leicester man is not in Sarri’s plans but Chelsea are likely to struggle to move the midfielder on due to his high wages.
Drinkwater is believed to earn around £100,000-a-week and is unlikely to match that figure anywhere else.
Chelsea would like to recoup a large chunk of the £35 million they spent on him but may be forced into taking a loss in order to move him on in the near future.
The midfielder has become something of a forgotten figure at Stamford Bridge and has seen his career stall since his move from the King Power.
