West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola is chasing Fulham captain Danny Murphy.

The People says sources close to the former England man claim he will move in the summer - with the Hammers hot favourites.

Zola fears Scott Parker could be tempted away by a big money move in the next window, although West Ham would be happy to have both in their squad.

Murphy has an automatic one-year extension at Craven Cottage after playing a certain number of games, but at 32 is looking for long-term security.
