West Ham are monitoring developments around Everton centre-back Michael Keane ahead of a possible move.
The Hammers are looking to make defensive reinforcements before the January window closes, given that they are just one point above the Premier League relegation zone.
And David Moyes’s side have identified Keane, who has made just one league appearance this year, as a potential option to bolster their defence.

David Moyes’s side are eager to make defensive reinforcements ahead of their relegation battle.
Keane, 30, has made three appearances in all competitions this year, with his other two coming in the Toffees Carabao Cup race.
Given that he is out of favor with the struggling Merseyside club, it seems Moyes might be interested in bringing Keane to the London Stadium.
The Hammers are somewhat drained defensively after Craig Dawson left for relegation rivals Wolves earlier this month.
The confirmation of Dawson’s deal came days after David Moyes expressed his frustration at the way Wolves went after the 32-year-old.

Speaking ahead of West Ham’s clash with Wolves, Moyes said: “I might make an offer for one of them after the game and see how it goes.”
‘Is it destabilizing? By the way, yes. Let’s be fair, the wolves tried to buy Daws in the summer and we said no at the time.
West Ham would be the fourth Premier League team of Keane’s career, having had stints at Manchester United, Burnley and Everton.
