West Ham United are moving for Manchester City fullback Wayne Bridge.
The Daily Mail says Bridge may join West Ham's relegation fight next month on loan.
Manchester City's former Chelsea left back is keen to return to London and, though he would rather not be involved in a survival battle, he may be forced to join the Hammers to secure first-team football after being marginalised since the arrival of Aleksandar Kolarov.
City would rather sell Bridge, 30, in order to off-load his £90,000-a-week wages but are willing to consider a loan move, which would see them cover some of his salary.
Blackburn are also interested in taking the former England defender.
