West Ham United are 'interested' in a summer move for Sunderland defender Dan Ballard, with the Hammers keen to bolster their defensive options.
That is according to The Guardian, who claim former Black Cats boss David Moyes is a big fan of the Northern Ireland international and has been tracking his progress for a while.
The report claims any move will depend on how West Ham decide to reinvest the major sum they are expected to recoup with the sale of England international midfielder Declan Rice, with both Man City and Arsenal lodging substantial bids for the 24-year-old.
