DAVID MOYES faces a losing battle to land Steven N’Zonzi – but is eyeing a shock move for Scotland midfielder John McGinn.
N’Zonzi is on West Ham’s list of targets for the January window as he looks to return to the Premier League.
But a £30million deal looks almost impossible to get sorted with Sevilla sacking boss Eduardo Berizzi last week.
The Spaniards have put transfers on hold while they appoint a new man to look after the rest of the season.
Moyes is a massive fan of Hibernian midfielder McGinn, 23, who has been tipped to make the grade in the Premier League.
The Scot could cost around £4million if his club look to cash in on their asset.
