He has already failed with THREE bids for Burnley ace James Tarkowski.
And Moyes is now thought to be targeting Wales international Rodon.
The Swansea ace, 22, has impressed since his return from injury.
And it’s believed Man United are keeping tabs on his development.
However, West Ham are now thought to be in pole position.
And they are also monitoring Arsenal’s Calum Chambers, as well as Monaco’s Djibril Sidib.
Rodon has made 49 appearances for Swansea after starting his professional career with the club.
But he could be tempted by a move to the Premier League after so far only featuring in the Championship with Swansea.
However, Rodon’s boss Steve Cooper hopes he will remain totally focused on building up his match fitness.
Cooper said: “For Joe’s progression, he needs a long spell in the team. It’s not like he’s an older player that needs managing.
“He’s been unlucky with injuries. If you talk to him he’ll tell you he feels stronger and fitter. He just needs a bit of luck.”
Adrian Durham says West Ham players Mark Noble and Jack Wilshere were wrong to comment on Grady Diangana’s sale
