Report: West Ham want 23-year-old Everton defender

West Ham United are interested in signing Everton full-back Jonjoe Kenny this summer, that David Moyes is looking to add greater depth in that area of the pitch.

The Hammers managed to stay up reasonably comfortably this past season. But Moyes will be hoping to enjoy a productive window as he gears up for what will be his first full campaign at the London Stadium.

that he is interested in Queens Park Rangers pair Ebere Eze and Ryan Manning. But he is also looking at a player from one of his former clubs.

According to The Telegraph, the Irons want Kenny, who is returning to Goodison Park after a season-long loan spell at Schalke.

It proved to be a productive time in Germany for the 23-year-old.

He made 31 appearances in the Bundesliga, scoring twice and providing three assists for David Wagner’s side.

It remains to be seen what Carlo Ancelotti’s plans for Kenny are. He, of course, arrived on Merseyside after the academy graduate had already been loaned out.

With Djibril Sidibe’s loan coming to an end, he may want to consider handing Kenny – who earns £15,000-a-week with the Toffees, – a chance next season.

And with Ryan Fredericks and Ben Johnson currently available to Moyes at the London Stadium, Kenny may have concerns about moving to the Hammers anyway.
