West Ham striker target Tammy Abraham is said to be ‘keen’ on making the move across London.
Having fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea under new manager Thomas Tuchel, the 23-year-old could seek to find regular first-team football once again this summer.
Irons’ boss David Moyes has previously dismissed the possibility of a £40million move for the England man but could be swayed at a lesser price.
Now, according to the reliable club insider ExWHUemployee on the latest West Ham Way podcast, as cited by Football Transfers on Twitter, Abraham himself could be open to the switch.

Ex described the London-born ace as ‘tempted’ by West Ham before stating that Moyes ‘likes him a lot’.
Despite initial reports claiming a higher asking price, a recent report from Football Insider suggested £30million could get the move in motion.
Last season Abraham netted 12 goals across all competitions in 32 appearances.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Valued at £34.2million and under contract until 2023 in west London (Transfermarkt), spending the mooted £30million on the six-times capped star would be a reasonable deal for all parties.
Abraham has proven himself to be a proven Premier League performer with 26 top-flight goals in 89 outings.
Predominantly a central striker, the Englishman would offer direct competition to Michail Antonio and perhaps pushed the 30-year-old out into a wide position on occasion.
Slight change to tactics not permitting and perhaps a cursory attempt to involve Declan Rice in any deal from Chelsea, signing Abraham would be a major coup.
