West Ham Tipped to Resurrect William Carvalho Interest in January Despite War of Words With Sporting

West Ham United target William Carvalho is still reportedly keen on sealing a switch to east London. That's despite a breakdown in relations between the Hammers and Sporting CP, which saw the latter's president label Irons co-chairmen David Gold and David Sullivan 'dildo brothers'.

According to the Daily Mirror, West Ham will try to resurrect their interest in the 25-year-old midfield enforcer when the transfer window re-opens in January.

Carvalho apparently still wants it to happen, with the newspaper's report stating that manager Slaven Bilic is looking to create a midfield partnership between the Portuguese international and existing imposing Hammers star Cheikhou Kouyate.
