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.
West Ham among the clubs monitoring Maguire’s situation
Harry Maguire is being closely watched by clubs in the Premier League and abroad, with West Ham among those interested in the England international.
The Hammers are believed to be exploring the option of either a loan or a permanent deal for the 30-year-old defender, who was recently told he will no longer captain Man Utd and could look to move to other places.
However, they know that wages could prove to be a problem if a deal is agreed between the clubs.
United manager Ten Hag has always maintained that any decision would effectively rest the player, who is contracted to the club until the summer of 2025.
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.
