West Ham are launching a bid for Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter.

The Sun says Irons boss David Moyes is ready to make a £15 million bid for Arter.

Moyes wants to spend on new faces next month and would prefer domestic talent — with midfielder Arter emerging as a major target.

Arter, 27, has been in and out of Eddie Howe's Cherries side lately to raise doubts about his long-term future just months after he signed a new deal.

Moyes is a big fan of the competitive Ireland star who would put muscle in his midfield.

He could also be an eventual successor to Mark Noble as the club's homegrown 'heart'.
