West Ham are poised to make a move for transfer-listed Tottenham forward Clint Dempsey, Blowing Bubbles understands.
The USA international has fallen out of favour at White Hart Lane and has been put out in the cold by Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas.
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce is believed to be in the market for a pacy striker to play off the shoulder of Andy Carroll, and former Fulham favourite Dempsey could fit the bill- particularly after the club's prospects of signing Chelsea youngster Romelu Lukaku took a heavy blow after the 20 year was included in the Blues' 25-man squad for their pre season tour of Thailand.
The Hammers are believed to be looking at cut price or loan deals when it comes to concluding their summer transfer business, having spent a substantial chunk of their transfer budget on £16m Carroll.
