Aston Villa defender Kortney Hause wants to go back to West Ham United.

According to Football Insider, the former Hammer wants to rejoin his old club in the January transfer window.

The club is speaking with his representatives about a move, while Watford also retain an interest in his services.

Hause is out of contract with Villa at the end of the season, but the club can extend his deal by another year.

The 26-year-old is a London native, and he may believe the chance of going back to the club where he emerged as a youth player is too good to turn down.
