West Ham are ready to move for Everton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin.

The Mirror says the Hammers have sounded Everton out about Schneiderlin.

Hammers boss David Moyes has identified a midfielder as his top priority in the January transfer window.

West Ham do still have interest in Sporting Lisbon ace William Carvalho but it is understood they have enquired about Schneiderlin's availability.

Toffees boss Sam Allardyce is keen on Sevilla's Steven N'Zonzi and could be prepared to allow Schneiderlin to leave Goodison Park to free up room.

Schneiderlin started in Everton's 3-1 win over Swansea last Monday before being replaced by Tom Davies on the hour-mark.
