West Ham are interested in Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, but they have yet to decide whether to make an official approach to take the midfielder on loan, according to Sky Sports News.

Hammers bosses are monitoring the situation, and discussions are ongoing internally to see if a deal for the 26-year-old fits into their overall transfer strategy.

West Ham spent more than £100m on new talent in the summer window, and so loan deals are thought to be their priority this month.

Dewsbury-Hall, signed by his former Leicester boss Enzo Maresca for £30m just six months ago, has struggled for game-time at Chelsea.

He has played just over an hour's worth of Premier League football in total so far this season, though he has made eight appearances in the Europa Conference League.
