West Ham are interested in Chelsea and England midfielder Conor Gallagher.
Gallagher has two years left on his contract and Chelsea are believed to be open to an extension.
Any potential departure would likely have to be driven by Gallagher himself.
The England midfielder is on tour with Chelsea in the USA and – as it stands – boss Mauricio Pochettino plans for him to be part of the squad next season.
Sky Sports News Chelsea are understood to value him in excess of £40m.
Gallagher is one of a number of midfielders West Ham have been eyeing following Declan Rice’s £105m departure from Arsenal.
The Hammers had a £45m bid rejected by Fulham for Joao Palhinha, and remain interested in Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse, Denis Zakaria of Juventus and Edson Alvarez from Ajax.

The club thanked Maguire for his contribution as captain over the past three-and-a-half years, adding that the manager will announce their new captain in due course, after he has briefed the players.
