West Ham insiders Claret and Hugh have claimed that David Moyes could be prioritising a move for Brentford left-back Rico Henry this summer. But the 23-year-old could cost up to £10 million.

ExWHUemployee claimed at the end of last month that the Hammers boss is keen to sign the Bees defender, when speaking on the West Ham Way podcast last night (Thursday July 23rd).
And Claret and Hugh have now backed up those claims.
The high-level West Ham insiders suggest that the Hammers have pulled out of a potential deal to sign Wigan Athletic left-back Antonee Robinson because Moyes prefers Rico Henry.
Brentford allegedly could demand anything up to £10 million for the Birmingham born ace.
Stats
Henry played every single league game for Brentford this season. In those 46 outings, he averaged 1.6 tackles, 1.1 interceptions and 1.9 clearances per game (Who Scored).
The 23-year-old really impressed in the Championship. And it seems like he is ready to take the step up to the next level.
£10 million seems like great value for Henry.
Much will depend on whether Moyes manages to raise funds quick enough to be able to compete for the Brentford ace’s signature, however.
The 23-year-old Bees star would be the ideal summer signing for West Ham. Let’s just hope the Hammers owners are prepared to back Moyes financially.
