West Ham United are preparing a swap offer for Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara.

The Telegraph says the Hammers are considering offering either captain Matthew Upson or James Tomkins to Tottenham in return for O'Hara, currently on-loan at Portsmouth.

Tottenham have long shown an interest in Upson, who was wanted by Liverpool last year, and who has just one-year left on his contract and has indicated that he does not want to sign a new deal and would like to leave. However given his age, 31, and wages, he earns £65,000-a-week, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy may not be interested.

Tomkins, who is regarded as one of the best young English prospects, although he has struggled this season in a struggling team, may at 21 be a more attractive proposition.
