West Ham line up Steven Fletcher

West Ham United are reportedly considering a move for Sunderland centre-forward Steven Fletcher.

The Scotland international has had a tough time in the Premier League this season, and this has cost him a regular place in the starting line-up.

A report from The Mirror suggests that the Hammers could make a late swoop for the 28-year-old, who is in the final six months of his contract at Wearside.

It is added that manager Slaven Bilic would welcome the player's arrival, given the lack of firepower upfront following injuries to Andy Caroll and Diafra Sakho.

Fletcher has netted four league goals for the Black Cats this season.
