Ahead of the transfer window the stories now come thick and fast concerning West Ham’s side being broken up with multiple players likely to be the subject of bids when the window opens mid June. Sadly, the price of relegation.

Just this morning came the suggestion that defender Konstantinos Mavropanos was likely to attract interest from the Bundesliga: With the season just a couple of days into the rear view mirror another player has been reported as targeted – this time from within the Premier League.

David Moyes, apparently, has targeted one of West Ham’s first choice defenders.

So says the telegraph.co.uk this afternoon:

“Everton have targeted Aaron Wan-Bissaka in a £10m deal as clubs circle West Ham following their relegation from the Premier League.

Wan-Bissaka, 28, is heading to the World Cup with DR Congo next month and is the subject of serious interest over a switch to Hill Dickinson Stadium after two seasons at West Ham, where he has played regularly since his £15m move from Manchester United.

Everton have targeted Aaron Wan-Bissaka in a £10m deal as clubs circle West Ham following their relegation from the Premier League”.

Sadly, Moyes’ interests just the latest of what is likely to be many predatory moves for former Premier League players who can still offer much to a top tier squad.

The former Hammer of the Year spent time in the Hammers’ dog house this season after returning late from celebrations after his DR Congo side qualified: Presumably in the Everton boss’s opinion “AWB” still passes the mythical ‘Moyes MOT’ despite his recent lapse.

From the old Bobby Moore Upper to the Billy Bonds' stand these days - sometimes- have to admit I have not renewed my season ticket... I've been watching since '03 and a supporter since about 1970..
Favourite player - Dean Ashton: Still watch YouTube repeats of the Cup Final of 2006 hoping in vain that Shaka Hislop grows six inches and stops Steven Gerrard's injury time equaliser. Can tell I'm getting old knowing I saw both Mark Noble's debut and his last game at West Ham.
Pulling on a Claret and Blue replica shirt still makes me feel the same butterflies as when I was seven years old. Magic.

    He can have Wan Bissaka for what we paid for him.

    Very good one on one defender. Thats about it. Would eventually make someone like Moyes’ blood boil for never being positioned correctly, often playing a man inside as a result. Hopefully he’ll also play for Everton with about as much enthusiasm and joy as a man on death row who’s just been served up cabbage soup for their last meal.

      Bob, your other comment made me laugh (regarding Ampika Pickston’s instagram post) but I’m not brave enough to publish it.

    What’s his book value nowadays?
    Does £10m represent a profit.
    Seems too cheap to me.
    Who could we sign for that fee, similar age with the same number of top flight appearances, played for MU and is aContinental champion?
    Why is it when we purchase from relegatef clubs the fees are astronomical, JWP, Fernandes, Bowen.
    But when we’re a Championship club the purchase price is bargain basement levels.
    Utterly baffling.
    How much did Coventry quote us for one of their players in January?
