West Ham to pounce as Kalou lashes out at Hertha boss Klinsmann

West Ham are making a late move for Hertha Berlin striker Salomon Kalou.

Kicker says the Irons are in contact with Hertha about bringing the former Chelsea star back to London before tomorrow's transfer deadline.

Now 34, Kalou has found himself sidelined by coach Jurgen Klinsmann and has hit out at his treatment this week.

He said, "I am not the type that points to others. I'm not here for five days or months. But almost six years and have always scored my goals. I therefore do not need any special treatment. But it's about respect. And that is missing massively."

Kalou had six years with Chelsea between 2006 and 2012.
