Reported West Ham target Matty Cash has told Sky Sports that his agent has made him aware of interest from the Hammers.

Sky Sports reported in January that the Hammers submitted a £10 million offer, one that could rise to £12 million, for the 22-year-old Forest right-back.

According to a report from the Sun, however, Nottingham Forest were demanding £18 million for Cash.

And Football.London has claimed that West Ham could go back in for the right-back this summer.

The Forest ace was speaking to Sky Sports recently, and he suggested that he is well aware of the interest in his signature from the east London outfit:

“My agent had a few chats with me. There were a few conversations but I had a job to do at the time and a few games to focus on. But I heard about the interest, yeah!”

West Ham boss David Moyes might be looking to bolster his right-back options this summer. Ryan Fredericks has been extremely poor this season.

Jeremy Ngakia and Ben Johnson are very exciting prospects, but Moyes might be wary of putting too much pressure on the youngsters too soon.

And if he does bring in another right-back, Cash would be a great option.

Stats

In 36 Championship outings for Forest this season, Cash has racked up three goals and four assists (Who Scored).

In those appearances, the 22-year-old has averaged 2.8 tackles, 1.4 interceptions and 2.8 clearances per game (Who Scored).

For just £18 million, the Forest ace could be great value for West Ham. That price could drop as well, due to the current global health crisis.

And the Hammers should go all out to sign the Forest ace this summer.
