West Ham have been backed to sign Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea this summer.
Graham Potter is looking to strengthen in several areas after a dismal Premier League campaign last season at the London Stadium.
Midfield is a key position for recruits, especially with doubts about the futures of Edson Alvarez and Guido Rodriguez, who failed to impress last season.

West Ham tipped to make Dewsbury-Hall move
Enzo Maresca’s side have reportedly offered the former Leicester star as part of a potential swap deal for Mohammed Kudus.
However, iconic commentator Ian Darke believes that the Hammers could secure a cut-price deal for the Stamford Bridge star without including the Ghanaian ace.

Speaking exclusively to West Ham Zone, he said: “They are talking about Dewsbury-Hall going from Chelsea to West Ham, I think he has been unlucky, not to see more minutes than he has.
“I think you saw at Leicester he was really their main player, and then Chelsea signed him and then hardly used him in the Premier League.
“I think he would give West Ham’s midfield a bit more of that dynamic quality that it lacks, so he would be quite a good buy.
“You could imagine there would be offers for him because people are looking at him, saying, he is not really getting much game time and would probably be happy with a move.
“I think Chelsea would do business at the right price, I think he went for £30million, so £25m they might get him.
“It might be a goer that we will see, but I think Kudus is the type of player you want to keep on board.”

Dewsbury-Hall would be a great move for West Ham
The Englishman has been unfortunate not to feature for the West London outfit as a result of the embarrassment of riches for the Blues.
However, that could allow the London Stadium outfit to swoop in and take him off their hands with a reasonable offer.
As Darke states, he would be a decent signing for the East Londoners, so David Sullivan and Co should try and seal a deal for the ex-Foxes star.
