Chelsea are eyeing a shock move for West Ham United fullback Aaron Cresswell.

The Sunday Mirror says Cresswell will be rewarded with a new deal at West Ham as bigger clubs continue to track him.

Manchester City were first to be linked with a move for the former Ipswich defender Cresswell, but it has emerged that Chelsea have also been taking note of his impressive performances.

But it is understood the Hammers want to ward off any interest and will make it a priority to offer 25-year-old Cresswell an improved deal soon.
