According to reports by Italian media outlet Corriere dello Sport, AS Roma are ready to offer Grzegorz Krychowiak an escape route from what has been a disappointing loan spell with West Bromwich Albion this term.

The 27-year-old joined the Baggies on a season-long loan deal from Paris Saint-Germain towards the end of the summer transfer window, but he has struggled to make a big impression with the struggling west Midlands outfit.

With the manager that brought him to the Hawthorns – Tony Pulis – being sacked and replaced by Alan Pardew, the Poland international's future is up in the air with the new boss ready to send him back to PSG in order to free up space to bring a new player in this month, according to talkSPORT.

Corriere dello Sport says that Roma are ready to bring him to Serie A if the loan is ended early, with the player keen to find some form before the World Cup in Russia this summer.

Meanwhile, West Ham United were heavily linked with a move for the defensive midfielder during the summer, but it was reported that former manager Slaven Bilic turned down the opportunity to sign the Pole in favour of trying to bring William Carvalho to the London Stadium.

That deal never materialised though and his successor David Moyes will be keen to strengthen his Irons team this month, and bringing Krychowiak to the capital could prove to be a shrewd move.

Here are three reasons West Ham should hijack Roma's bid to sign the midfielder…

They need a defensive midfielder

Former West Ham boss Slaven Bilic wanted a new defensive midfielder during the summer transfer window, and the disappointing performances from the likes of Pedro Obiang and Cheikhou Kouyate in general this season suggest that shouldn’t have changed even though the Croatian has been replaced by Moyes.

Even though Krychowiak perhaps hasn't done as well as he might have expected to at West Brom, it has been a tough situation in a team that is struggling at the bottom of the Premier League, and his form for Sevilla previously and the fact that he earned a move to Paris Saint-Germain show the quality and potential he has.

His qualities

While Krychowiak hasn't been at his best for West Brom and has perhaps taken longer to adapt to Premier League football than he might have liked, some of his statistics this season still show the strengths in his game.

According to WhoScored.com, he has made 35 interceptions in 15 Premier League appearances this term, while he has won 16 of the 22 aerial duels he has faced.

In 26 outings for Sevilla in the 2015/16 campaign, he won 76 of the 107 he faced, while he also won 64 of the 77 tackles he attempted.

Strong physically and the air and decent in possession, there is no doubt that he could add something to the West Ham midfield.

Loan deal

While Moyes will be keen to add to his team during the January transfer window, the Scot won't have the biggest budget and the opportunity to potentially sign a player like Krychowiak on loan until the end of the season could be a tempting one, and would allow them to cover his wages.

With a spot in the Poland World Cup squad up for grabs and another chance to prove himself in the Premier League following a disappointing campaign for West Brom, he would be motivated and could turn out to be an inspired addition for West Ham.
