West Ham are believed to be keen on Chelsea centre-back Marc Guehi and could make loan move this summer.
That’s according to a report from The Athletic, as cited by EFL Hub on Twitter, who also name Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and Southampton as potential suitors.

The 20-year-old is currently on loan in the Championship with Swansea City and about to embark on the play-offs – should the Welsh club be successful they could attempt to make the deal permanent.
This season Guehi has been a driving force behind Swansea’s success, earning an average Sofascore rating of 6.88 in 40 Championship outings.
During a recent spell away on England Under 21 duty, the 11-cap youngster was dubbed an ‘absolute tank’ by international teammate and Stoke City goalkeeper Josef Bursik.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
David Moyes could delve back into the transfer market this summer having failed to land seemingly number one target James Tarkowski last summer.
Despite the permanent arrival of loanee Craig Dawson, the potential imminent departure of Fabian Balbuena and the injury issues suffered by Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna could mean more options are still necessary.
Signing Guehi would certainly bolster the current ranks at the London Stadium and would also stand the squad in good stead for the future.
