West Ham have approached Udinese for Seko Fofana.

TMW says the Hammers have made contact with Udinese about a price for the midfielder.

Indeed, West Ham have informed the Zebrette they're willing to cough up for Fofana, though the Italians are reluctant to lose the player midseason.

After defeat at Leicester City last night, Hammers boss David Moyes admnitted: "We do need players, we are short.

"We need the energy and fresh legs. If we can get it we will do but I can't guarantee that."
