The Hammers are considering going back with a second bid while looking at several alternatives in England and across Europe.

 

 

Lyon’s 23-year-old centre-back, O’Brien, has emerged as a potential target for West Ham and they are considering making a move for him.

 

However, it appears that they could have Premier League competition for his signature from Everton.

 

 

The Toffees are in the market to add more defensive options to their squad this summer.

 

The Irish defender is on their radar and the club are weighing up making a move for him this summer.
