West Ham are interested in signing Napoli's Swiss midfielder Blerim Dzemaili.

Dzemaili - who worked with Hammers boss Sam Allardyce at Bolton as a young youngster - has been linked with a move to United's Premier League rivals Tottenham in recent weeks but fresh reports suggest that whilst London still appears to be a likely destination, it's West Ham who could land the 28-year-old.* West Ham's prolonged interest in Leeds United striker Ross McCormack could be coming to an end after it was claimed that Newcastle United had made a hugely-generous ?8million offer for the 27-year-old Scottish international. McCormack was strongly linked with a deadline day move to the Boleyn Ground back in January.* Further to our news in Wednesday's transfer bulletin regarding Dortmund striker Julian Schieber, it is reported that although the player is keen to move to the Premier League West Ham want to take the 25-year-old on loan - something, who are looking to sell Schieber, are not willing to accept. The former German Under 21 international made 20 starts for Dortund last season, scoring just one goal.
