West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has identified Kevin Mirallas and Aaron Lennon as possible replacements for Stewart Downing following the winger’s £5.5million move to Middlesbrough last week.

Everton have reportedly already rejected a £6m bid from West Ham for Mirallas while Tottenham’s Lennon could be another option.

The 28-year-old Leeds-born winger has one year remaining on his contract at White Hart Lane and was on loan at Everton for the second half of last season.

Spurs want Everton’s James McCarthy and have offered Lennon in exchange as part of that deal but their valuation of £9m for the winger is seen as too high by the Merseyside club.

The Hammers have signed five players this summer, including Dimitri Payet from Marseille and Angelo Obonna from Juventus, while four players - including Downing - have left the club.

Bilic admitted last week that he had hoped to keep the former Liverpool man at Upton Park.

"I didn't want him to go, he's a quality English player and I know how hard it is to get the quality ones," said Bilic.

"Of course I rate him, I tried to persuade him to stay with us.
