West Ham want Young to follow Sidwell from Aston Villa

West Ham United are planning a double raid on Aston Villa in the coming days.

With a deal for Villa midfielder Steve Sidwell all but wrapped up, West Ham also want to bring fullback Luke Young back to London.

Young's kid brother, Jake, is in West Ham's youth team and he is a former Tottenham and Charlton Athletic defender.

Villa boss Gerard Houllier is ready to let him go for a nominal fee.

Versatile Young is likely to play at left back when he joins the London club.
