WEST HAM could move for Tottenham full-back Alan Hutton after the defender's transfer to Sunderland appeared to fall through, according to reports.

The Daily Mail claims the Hammers will join the race for the Scotland international after Sunderland balked at Spurs' reported £5million asking price.

Hutton has struggled to make an impact at White Hart Lane and was sent out on loan to Sunderland last season.
