West Ham are interested Chelsea's Dewsbury-Hall

West Ham are interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in January.

The Hammers are keen to bolster their squad after announcing Graham Potter as their new manager on Thursday morning.

Dewsbury-Hall is believed to be on the shortlist of options to improve the squad.

Chelsea are reportedly open to allowing Dewsbury-Hall to rebuild his confidence away from the club, after his initial struggles following his £30m summer move from Leicester.

Dewsbury-Hall has been unable to emulate his success under manager Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge, having won Leicester's Player of the Season award under Maresca - as the Midlands club won the Championship last season.

The former Blackpool and Luton star has made just five substitute Premier League appearances without starting a single league match for Chelsea this season.

But he has had a more prominent role in Carabao Cup and Conference League matches.
