jack-hendry-dundee_1n1d3bpm4p044155pvk9ozq8zmHammers fans will have their eyes on Dundee tonight as yet another target could come under the scrutiny of boss David Moyes.

According to the Daily Mail the Irons will be sending scouts to the game with defender Jack Hendry the object of their attentions in the match against Hibs.

However, it can now be taken as read that if that scout isn’t the manager himself then no business is on hand given his insistence that he has to see every player in whom he is interested.

Bournemouth, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Newcastle are reported to be among the clubs who will be present to run the rule over the player.

According to the report both Rangers and Celtic, who have already posted interest in the stylish 22-year-old, are expected to take another look.

Celtic have already had a £500,000 bid rejected for Hendry who only joined Dundee last summer after a spell with Wigan Athletic – ironically the Hammers’ opponents in the weekend FA Cup match.
