Report: West Ham United showing interest in Tom Huddlestone

West Ham United are interested in signing Hull City midfielder Tom Huddlestone, according to reports.

Slaven Bilic's side are still in the market for a central midfielder after pulling out of a deal to sign Joey Barton, and The Mirror claims that the London club is now preparing a bid for Huddlestone.

The 28-year-old was relegated to the Championship with Hull last term, but had a number of impressive seasons with the Tigers and Tottenham Hotspur which led to England call-ups in 2009, 2010 and 2012.

Huddlestone joined Hull in 2013 and has since made 77 appearances, scoring on four occasions.
