West Ham target Milan midfielder to boost top-four hopes

West Ham United will make a January move for AC Milan outcast Keisuke Honda in attempt to boost their hopes of finishing in the top-four this season, reports The Sun.

Honda, 29, has previously been linked with a move to the Premier League and could now seal a switch with Slaven Bilic reportedly keen to snap up the services of the Japan international in January.

The former CSKA Moscow creator has two years left to run on his deal with Milan and the Rossoneri are alleged to want £5m for the midfielder who has become surplus to requirements under new manager Siniša Mihajlović.

Honda has only managed 271 minutes of first-team action in the Serie A and has failed to score or register a single assist thus far, garnering a low WhoScored rating of 6.41.
