West Ham could reportedly still complete a deadline day move for Porto left-back Zaidu Sanusi.
The Hammers are believed to have made an approach for the 24-year-old full-back, whilst Brighton & Hove Albion are also interested.
Despite the clock approaching the 11:00pm deadline, Irons’ boss David Moyes could still land highly sought after support for Aaron Cresswell.
That’s according to a report from Portuguese outlet Record, as cited by West Ham News & Views on Twitter, claiming a transfer remains possible.

Known simply as ‘Zaidu’, the ace has made three senior appearances for Nigeria.
Last season the attacking full-back, described by ex-Iron Toni Martínez as the ‘quickest player I’ve seen in my life’, scored once and registered one assist in 25 Liga NOS outings.

Valued at £7.2million and under contract until 2025 in Portugal (Transfermarkt), Zaidu would certainly push the evergreen Cresswell hard for a place in the starting lineup.
Boasting UEFA Champions League and international experience, the Nigerian would represent yet another smart signing as Moyes prepares for life in the Europa League.
Albeit little time remains in the window, deals can materialise quickly and many Hammers will hope the Nigerian can turn up at the London Stadium.
