West Ham are reportedly ramping up attempts to sign Everton centre-back Michael Keane before deadline day.
That’s according to a report from the Daily Mail who claim that Hammers boss David Moyes is desperate to add another centre-back to his ranks at the London Stadium before the January transfer window slams shut.

And Everton defender Michael Keane is one of his prime targets.
Michael Dawson has already left to join Wolves, leaving West Ham short in the central defensive department.
It seems as though that might not be the case though…
West Ham eyeing Michael Keane swoop before deadline day
The Daily Mail claim that the Hammers are monitoring Keane’s current situation at Everton as the January transfer window nears its end.
I must say, I think that the 30-year-old centre-back would be a terrible signing by Moyes, and would once again indicate a total lack of future planning or any kind of long-term transfer strategy.
Keane seems to be a classic Moyes player – old fashioned, injury prone and poor with the ball at his feet!
The 30-year-old is slow and cumbersome and really is very poor when in possession of the football.
He is strong in the air and the tackle but his skillset is limited to say the least.
West Ham signing Michael Keane from Everton in the January transfer window would be incredibly underwhelming. He’s just nowhere near the level of player Moyes should be targeting.
I just hope and pray that the Scot makes a more exciting signing for West Ham before deadline day.
