West Ham are rivalling Burnley for Chelsea left-back Ian Maatsen on loan.
Maatsen, 21, has attracted interest from a number of Premier League clubs this summer.
The Hammers are hoping to agree a loan move for the young Dutch defender, who impressed during pre-season under new Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Maatsen, who played for Burnley on loan last season and had a key role as the Clarets were promoted back to the Premier League, has even been tipped to start Chelsea’s opening game against Liverpool on Sunday.
