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.

The newspaper also reported that France striker Sidney Govou, whom West Ham were understood to be keeping tabs on, will accept a deal to play for Turkish side Galatasaray, thought to be worth £3.5m a year.
