West Ham United are tracking Charlton youngster Morgan Fox.

The Hammers have identified the highly-rated 21-year-old right back as a possible alternative to Carl Jenkinson, who spent this season on-loan at Upton Park from Arsenal.

And while the east London outfit are hopeful of completing a deal for Jenkinson they are compiling a list of alternatives should the Gunners ask for too much for the one time England defender.

Goal.com are reporting that Fox, who has won rave reviews for his performances in the Championship this season, is at the top of that list.


The Wales under-21 international has two years left to run on his current contract while Newcastle United and Aston Villa are also thought to be monitoring Fox’s availability.
