West Ham new boss Graham Potter is active in the transfer market and is reportedly shopping in Stamford Bridge.
Graham Potter began his tenure as West Ham boss with a 3-2 win over Fulham, and he will be keen to consolidate that performance by adding new faces in the January window.
Despite his disappointing stint at Stamford Bridge, the ex-Chelsea boss is still well-respected in the game.
West Ham are short in a few areas, and Potter is working hard on adding new faces, with Chelsea outcast Ben Chilwell seen as the perfect addition.

Leave Chelsea and save your career — Super Eagles legend Babayaro warns Blues star
Super Eagles of Nigeria and Chelsea icon Celestine Babayaro has advised one of the club's stars to find a new club and save his career.
“He’s the sort of person who I’m looking at, who probably needs to think about his career.
“You know, he’s not as young as he once was, so he’s got to be thinking, “if I’m not getting games here, I need to move”.
While a move is yet to be confirmed, it would appear Chilwell is set to take that advice and seek new pastures.
Meanwhile, West Ham are still in the market for a striker, with Aston Villa's Jhon Duran and Nottingham Forest's Taiwo Awoniyi under consideration.
