West Ham Transfer Rumours

Today's rumours claim that West Ham are amongst a number of clubs interested in Birmingham's Mathew Upson. Upson's has so far refused to sign a new contract and so Birmingham may be forced to cash in on the player in January.

Arsenal have apparently gone cold on West Ham captain Nigel Reo-Coker. The Gunners were rumoured to have made an enquiry about the player on the last day of the summer transfer window but their interest is now said to lie elsewhere.

Ex-West Ham scout Paul Montgomery has revealed that West Ham nearly signed Didier Drogba. Drogba had apparently agreed to join the Hammers as long as West Ham stayed in the premiership, unfortunately that was the season we were relegated.
