Report: West Ham United target deal for Leroy Fer

West Ham United have made an approach to Queens Park Rangers over the transfer of midfielder Leroy Fer, according to reports.

The Dutchman only joined the club last summer from Norwich City, but he has been linked with a move away following the Hoops' relegation to the Championship.

Sevilla have been linked with a move for the player in the past, but Sky Sports News claims that West Ham are the latest club to pursue a deal.

Hammers co-owner David Gold claimed that he expects "at least two" new players before the window shuts, and at least one of those will be a striker.

Fer made 31 appearances for QPR last season.
