West Ham target Dailly
![]() West Ham want Dailly to plug defence
West Ham have confirmed they are talking to Blackburn defender Christian Dailly as transfer activity around Upton Park hots up.
Out of favour Marc Keller, a free transfer from Karlsruhe, is being used as a bargaining chip in return for the Scottish international. The Hammers are also keen to secure the signing Rangers Italian star Lorenzo Amoruso as they try to fill the void left by the departed Rio Ferdinand. Managing director Paul Aldridge said the club will be speaking to both players this week. With Ferdinand leaving for Leeds and Igor Stimac ruled out for a further month, boss Harry Redknapp is having to rely on veterans Stuart Pearce and Nigel Winterburn to prop up his defence. Foxe visa A deal for the versatile Dailly is likely to cost West Ham around £2.25m depending on appearances. "Talks will be held with the relevant parties in the week and we hope a deal can be concluded," said Aldridge. "We will be talking to Lorenzo this week and we will see what comes out of those discussions." Aldridge also confirmed that Steve Lomas will decide today whether he wants to talk to Everton or Manchester City who have both had £3.7m bids for the midfielder accepted. And Australian international Hayden Foxe will be joining Belgian side Mechelen on loan until his UK working visa is sorted out.
