WEST HAM boss David Moyes is still keen on Barcelona right-back Moussa Wague.
The Hammers were close to signing the Senegalese defender on loan in the last days of the transfer window.
West Ham are still interested in Moussa Wague
But Barca chiefs struck a loan deal with French side Nice instead.
Wague, 21, could still be sold in the summer for around £16million.
And Moyes will head for France to check on him.
The situation could change for the Londoners if they get relegated from the Premier League.
But Moyes has been assured there will be money for new and young players in the summer regardless.
Right-back has been a problem position for the Hammers this season.
Neither Pablo Zabaleta or Ryan Fredericks have fully convinced in the role.
And with West Ham staring perilously at the relegation zone, club chiefs are aware that they’ll have to improve – even if they do manage to survive this season.
Wague has been restricted to only six first-team appearances for the Catalan giants since joining from Eupen in 2018.
But he’ll be hoping to impress potential suitors while on loan in Ligue 1.
Nice currently sit comfortably in mid-table in France’s top-flight, occupying 12th position.
