West Ham could look to fill the void left by Cheikhou Kouyate with a move for Fiorentina's Carlos Sanchez before the transfer deadline later this week.
The 32-year-old defensive midfielder appears to be surplus to requirements at the Italian club, having spent the second half of the 2017/18 season on loan at Espanyol.
However, with Kouyate having already left in order to join Crystal Palace this summer, there could be room for Sanchez in manager Manuel Pellegrini's plans at the London Stadium this season.
The Hammers have been one of the Premier League's busiest clubs in the transfer market this summer, making multiple big-name signings including midfielder Felipe Anderson from Lazio, Jack Wilshere from Arsenal and France Under-21 captain Issa Diop.
