Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall has been on Hammers radar along with a host of other players for what seems an age, as the clock continues to tick down towards deadline day more and more rumours abound it is the nature of the beast.

The 25 year old is good in the air and a bit of a throw back to central defenders of the past, he is tough tackling and can look after himself in a showdown, he is 6'4" tall and is a warrior rather than a worrier in defence, his performances belie his young age and on the face of it he would be a typical David Moyes signing

Today we have been trying to go through just SOME of the 'runners and riders' in the 'great' West Ham player hunt, that is unravelling in front of us as the transfer deadline looms large! Next up on the list of 'hopefuls' is the pursuit of Chelsea's 20 year old striker, Armando Broja.

When it comes to doing non domestic transfer business, clubs tend to stick with what they know in order to avoid lengthy unnecessary negotiations that more often than not ultimately end in disappointment. Hammers need for reinforcements is hardly a secret, neither is Olympic Marseille's urgent need for money.
