West Ham news: David Moyes plotting £3m move for Burnley midfielder Scott Arfield
Canada international is out of contract at the end of the season, so the Clarets could well cash in on the first-teamer
DAVID MOYES has Burnley midfielder Scott Arfield in his sights.
The West Ham boss wanted the Canada international during his time at Sunderland and failed to get him to the Stadium of Light.
But Moyes is weighing up a move for him this window with the 29-year-old’s contract expiring at Turf Moor.
He wants players with Premier League experience and Arfield’s expiring deal means a deal will not break the bank.
The ex-Huddersfield midfielder has started Burnley’s last seven Prem games but has still not signed a deal to keep him at Burnley beyond the end of the season.
Sean Dyche has also signed wide-man Georges Kevin-Nkoudou to add to his ranks for the second half of the season.
Dyche will consider cashing in on Arfield now and raising around £3million or risk losing the player for free in the summer.
SunSport reported yesterday how angry Bournemouth have turned down a low £5million offer from the Hammers for midfield general Harry Arter.

And boss Eddie Howe has needed to sit down the Republic of Ireland cap to explain his decision and ask him to stay at the club.
David Moyes wants Arter, but his money men have made a feeble attempt to force the Cherries to sell their long-serving star.

Arter would be keen on the Hammers, but the derisory bid is a disappointment all round.
