There are two Chelsea gamers the Hammers are being linked with by the nicely linked Ben Jacobs – Kiernan Dewsbury-Corridor and Carney Chukwuemeka.
Each are proficient attacking quantity 8s who merely don’t have a job within the Chelsea squad in the meanwhile. Chukwuemeka was up on the market in the summertime, however no purchaser was discovered, whereas Dewsbury-Corridor solely joined in the summertime, however has performed so little that there’s already fairly convincing tales that he’s up on the market too.
The Chelsea squad has an extra of attacking midfielders, and will simply lose each with out being weakened. Cesare Casadei is one other participant in an identical scenario, though he has extra curiosity from Serie A.
Nothing superior – however items match for at the least one transfer
Potter is aware of Chukwuemeka a bit from their shared time at Chelsea, whereas Dewsbury-Corridor undoubtedly appears just like the form of participant who might assist the Hammers as they attempt to discover some kind after a nasty begin to the season.
In the event that they’re keen to spend cash, Chukwuemeka might be purchased for not a lot over £20m we’d picture. There are additionally that Chelsea would contemplate a mortgage deal for him.
Whereas there’s completely nothing superior in these hyperlinks – Potter was solely confirmed within the job yesterday – there may be loads of purpose to suppose that at the least certainly one of these strikes might be significantly thought of by Chelsea.
