According to reports, West Ham are interested in signing Swansea centre-back Alfie Mawson during the January transfer window.

Since making his debut for the club in October last year, Mawson has established himself as a key member of the Swans first team and has so far played in every Premier League game for his club this season.

He has also proven that he is a defender who can score goals as he has found the back of the net six times since making his debut against Watford last year.

The 23-year old joined the Swans from Barnsley during the summer of 2016 and his current contract is set to expire in 2020.

As the Swans are seriously battling relegation, it is unlikely that they will listen to offers for Mawson in January.

Moyes meanwhile is looking to bolster his side in January in order to boost their own chances of Premier League survival and Mawson appears to be one of the players who he is looking at.
