West Ham are interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in January.
The Hammers are keen to bolster their squad after announcing Graham Potter as their new manager on Thursday morning.
Dewsbury-Hall is believed to be on the shortlist of options to improve the squad.
Chelsea are reportedly open to allowing Dewsbury-Hall to rebuild his confidence away from the club, after his initial struggles following his £30m summer move from Leicester.
Dewsbury-Hall has been unable to emulate his success under manager Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge, having won Leicester's Player of the Season award under Maresca - as the Midlands club won the Championship last season.
