With the season reaching the closing stages, attention has begun to turn to this summer's transfer window.

West Ham United's main priority is to remain in the Premier League as they currently sit two points above the relegation zone.

However, they are also likely to be drawing up transfer plans, and according to The Sun, Newcastle United captain Jamaal Lascelles is on their radar.

The publication claims that the East London outfit are pondering a £15m swoop for the defender, who the newspaper claims could be tempted by a transfer if a decent deal is on offer.

The Sun also claims that Lascelles's agent is close to West Ham officials, but in the end, any transfer will be down to fee and wages.

The 24-year-old has been consistently strong for the Magpies this season and has played in 25 top-flight fixtures so far.

He did, though, miss out on a spot in Gareth Southgate's latest England squad ahead of the World Cup in Russia this summer.

After news emerged of West Ham's reported interest in Lascelles, fans of the London club have been tweeting their verdicts.
