The Hammers are struggling after their recent success of last year, but if The Big Kiwi were to join them on a transfer, he would still be struggling for
regular gametime.
The 31 - year - old is apparently yearning for
regular gametime ahead of next summer's World Cup finals in Russia, and the Frenchman may prove the perfect foil for the Blues, though only a loan stint is likely to be permitted.
The likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial have been starved off
regular gametime over the past few months, and the pair could feature at the Vitality Stadium.
