West Ham United are pushing to land Dnipro fullback Ivan Strinic.
The Daily Mail says the 26-year-old Strinic is in the final year of his contract at Dnipro and the Ukrainian club are keen to sell now rather than risk losing him for nothing next season.
Sam Allardyce has signed Aaron Cresswell from Ipswich but wants more options for what has been a problem position in recent seasons.
Strinic was named in Croatia preliminary World Cup squad for Croatia this summer, but failed to make the final 23 for the finals in Brazil.
