West Ham United face stiff competition for Lyon midfielder Kim Kallstrom.

The People says West Ham boss Gianfranco Zola is poised to make a £3.5million move for Lyon midfielder Kallstrom.

But the 27-year-old is also being monitored by Portsmouth and Blackburn.

Working against Zola is West Ham's finances, with the Italian having to sell before considering a move for Sweden international Kallstrom.
