Fabian Balbuena and Issa Diop have put in some impressive displays at the back for West Ham United.

However, they lack a decent ability to play out from the back, which may be an issue that Manuel Pellegrini will want to address.

Across the city in West London is a Chelsea defender who is struggling for game time.

Andreas Christensen has started just three matches since Maurizio Sarri took over from Antonio Conte as manager.

The 22-year-old shone under the leadership of Chelsea's former boss, but at the moment he is struggling to break the partnership of David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger.

West Ham may not be in desperate need of a new centre-back, but if injury hits, the club do not have many options considering that Winston Reid is still on the sidelines.

A loan arrangement with Christensen could end up being a positive deal for all parties, but do you agree?
