The 29-year-old is seen by Moyes as someone who can fit straight into his struggling s🐼q⛎uad, despite currently playing in the Championship.

Allen, of cours𒊎e, ꦺhas a fair bit of Premier League experience having played for the Potters, Liverpool and Swansea City in the English top-flight.

Moyes’ interest in Allen dates back to when he was in charge of West Ham the fi🐈rst time (), but the 56-year-old was unable to bring him to the club in the January 2018 window.

TBR’s view – The most West Ham should pay

Moyes may be a big fan of Allen b꧙ut he should not be looking to pay any more than the £8 million that is being reported.

The Wales international turns 30 in March, is currently playing in the Championship✤ and has 18 months left on his contract.

He could be a useful squad player and provide a bit of cover, but the Irons shouldn’t be desperately trying to get him in by pa⛦ꦓying over the odds.
