West Ham manager Sam Allardyce is weighing up a move for Reading midfielder Jimmy Kebe as he aims to strengthen his midfield options.
The Irons chief has long been an admirer of the Mali international, who impressed with five goals in 16 appearances in the Premier League last season.
Reading star Kebe today penned a new contract at the Madjeski Stadium but this has not put off the Irons, who could well pounce for the goalscoring midfielder according to Sky Sports.
Kebe is unpopular with Hammers fans after a show of gamesmanship led to West Ham midfielder Jack Collison being sent off as Reading defeated the Irons 3-0 the season before last, with both sides being promoted from the Championship in May 2012.
However, such considerations are likely to be beneath the ever-abrasive Allardyce, who admitted recently that he tried to bring the controversial former Bolton and Rangers winger El Hadj Diouf to Upton Park.
Norwich boss Chris Hughton has also been credited with an interest in Kebe.
