West Ham have been linked with a loan move for Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley in recent days.
And several West Ham supporters are desperate to see the Blues midfielder head across London this month.
According to the Mirror, David Moyes is keen on bringing Barkley to the London Stadium before the end of the window.
The report claims that the initial response from Chelsea was a negative one, with Frank Lampard viewing the England international as an important part of his plans at Stamford Bridge.
The news quickly made its way to several Hammers fans on social media, and plenty of them were desperate to see the club seal a deal.

Read West Ham verdict
We’re with these West Ham supporters in believing a move for Barkley would be a great piece of business.
He’s made just 11 appearances in all competitions under Lampard this season, and to us, that doesn’t resemble a man who is an ‘important’ figure at Stamford Bridge.
The player himself, in our view, could also be keen on a move to reunite with Moyes, especially with the European Championships just around the corner.
We feel as though Barkley, who has 33 senior caps, needs to be playing regularly if he is to force his way into Gareth Southgate’s squad.
He’d more than likely get that with Moyes at West Ham, with the pair previously working together at Everton.
On paper, a move would make perfect sense in our opinion, and if he does complete a temporary switch, it would leave these Hammers supporters delighted.
