West Ham United are planning a triple raid on Birmingham City.

The Mirror says Hammers’ duo David Sullivan and David Gold are willing to risk upsetting Brum owner Carsen Yeung further with a triple swoop for Liam Ridgewell, Sebastian Larsson and Christian Benitez.

Defender Ridgewell and midfielder Larsson are both out of contract this summer and are talking to Brum over new long-term deals.

But their representatives are aware of interest from Upton Park as Sullivan rates the duo highly.

Benitez is on loan from Mexican club Santos Laguna and City have a clause to buy him for £7m but boss Alex McLeish is undecided.
