West Ham United are seriously considering selling defender Nayef Aguerd this month.

The Moroccan is a key player for manager David Moyes, forming a partnership with Kurt Zouma in central defense.

However, The Standard states that interest from Saudi Arabia and Italy could trigger a sale.

Aguerd, who is at the African Cup of Nations, will only be allowed to go if a new signing arrives.

Manager Moyes does not want to see second-choice pair Konstantinos Mavropanos and Angelo Ogbonna playing regularly.

Nottingham Forest's Joe Worrall and Peterborough's Ronnie Edwards are both targets.
