Graham Potter could make Kieran Dewsbury-Hall his first signing as West Ham manager in a raid by his former club Chelsea.
The Englishman wants to reinforce his options in midfield and attack and Dewsbury-Hall is an option.
Potter was announced as Julen Lopetegui's replacement at West Ham on Thursday morning, with the Spaniard the shortest-serving Hammers manager in history.
Dewsbury-Hall, 26, has struggled for Premier League minutes on the sidelines since signing for £30million from Leicester in the summer to reunite with Enzo Maresca.
He made the Championship team of the season as part of the Foxes' title-winning campaign, but has only amassed 55 minutes of Premier League action from the bench.
It comes as Hammers midfielder Edson Alvarez emerges as a target for Monaco.

They want the Mexican on loan but West Ham are expected to reject such a proposal.
West Ham signed Alvarez from Ajax for £35.4m from Ajax on a five-year deal in the summer of 2023.
Potter's task is to revive West Ham's season with the London club that is 14th in the Premier League standings.
“For me it was important to wait until I found a job that I considered suitable for me and, at the same time, that I was the right candidate for the club I am joining. That is the feeling I have with West Ham United,” he said in the club's website.
'My conversations with the president and the board of directors have been very positive and constructive, we share the same values of hard work and a lot of energy to create solid foundations that can produce success, and we are on the same page in terms of what is needed . in the short term and then how we want the club to move forward in the medium and long term.
