West Ham United are reportedly considering a move for Leicester City defender Matt Mills.
The 25-year-old has been frozen out of first-team affairs at the King Power Stadium following a row with manager Nigel Pearson.
Mills, who joined the Foxes from Reading in the summer, has been left out of the Leicester squad for the last three games and Pearson told the player last week that he was free to leave the club on loan.
Leeds United had been touted as a possible destination for Mills, but now Sam Allardyce is keen to bring him to Upton Park in order to strengthen his squad ahead of the Championship run-in, according to Sky Sports News.
It is rumoured that Mills is again dating former Hollyoaks actress Emma Rigby, following a recent split.
