West Ham United are hopeful of strengthening their central midfield and are also targeting right-sided players in the January transfer window, manager David Moyes has said.
West Ham are 17th in the Premier League and Moyes is keen to add stability to his squad as they look to steer clear of a relegation battle in the second half of the season.
'We're short in some areas and overloaded in others,' Moyes told the club's website. 'For example, we've got lots of forwards, but we're really short of midfield players.
'We've got quite a few who are comfortable playing on the left, but not so many who can play on the right, so we've got a little bit of an imbalanced squad which we've got to straighten out in January if we can.
