They say David Moyes will attempt to bolster his midfield in the summer with Harry Arter indicating he plans to extend his stay past the summer.
The 28-year-old remains a major target for Moyes, who intends a significant shake-up up of the West Ham squad this summer should he succeed in keeping the club in the Premier League. The Scot immediately identified midfield as an area which needed major improvement and he believes the strong-running Arter is a player he can prise away from the South Coast.
West Ham are recruiting a new head of recruitment to work with David Moyes while extending their video analysis team and scouting network in time for the Summer transfer window with David Sullivan promising to take more a back seat.
