West Ham boss David Moyes admits interest in Arsenal and Everton target Steven N’Zonzi
Hammers boss says unsettled Sevilla player is just the type he would be interested in signing as Frenchmman nears January move away from La Liga back to England
WEST HAM manager David Moyes has admitted he is interested in signing Sevilla star Steven N'Zonzi.
French midfielder N'Zonzi looks set for a January move back to England after falling out with the La Liga club.
Arsenal and Everton have both shown an interest in signing the former Blackburn and Stoke star who has made a big impact during his time with Sevilla.
And now Hammers boss Moyes says he too would be keen to speak with the 29-year-old if he was looking to make a return to the Premier League.
Moyes said: "I think he's somebody who would be of interest to us if he came on the market.
"I wouldn't say that about others, but he's not playing for some reason at Sevilla - albeit the manager's gone, so maybe that changes the situation there.
"Overall, it's not something I can say I've done anything with.
"I speak [to West Ham's owners] quite regularly. We'd like to add to the squad if we can and, in the position in the table that we are, we'll need to.

"But finding the right players and looking for them is a bit different. Sometimes the ones you might want are not available at this time.
"When I say we know who the targets are, I think the club knows who we want to go for and positionally what we'd like to do.

"I think what changes is if you go for your target and you can't get him, what do you do? You'll have to look for another target.
"Hopefully we'll have two or three in consideration."
Arsenal have been tracking N'Zonzi as boss Arsene Wenger looks to strengthen his midfield and speculation about a move to England increased when he flew into Gatwick last week.
Everton boss Sam Allardyce has also shown an interest as he looks to make his mark on the squad he inherited at Goodison Park when the transfer window opens next month.
And Moyes is looking to overhaul his squad in January with midfield one of his main areas of concern as he tries to steer the club away from relegation danger.
