CHELSEA duo Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Carney Chukwuemeka are wanted by West Ham, according to reports.
The Irons are just seven points above the relegation zone after a poor first-half of the season and want to bolster their midfield options this month.

After a summer spend of £120million, the club are looking at potential loan deals unless they are able to raise funds through sales.
The Telegraph report Dewsbury-Hall and Chukwuemeka are on their radar due to limited playing time at Chelsea this season.
Dewsbury-Hall, 26, was signed by the Blues from Leicester for £30million just six months ago.
But he has managed just 55 minutes of action in the Premier League, with most of his appearances coming in the Conference League.
West Ham were interested in Chukwuemeka, 21, in the summer and are set to revisit a deal in January.
He is not part of Enzo Maresca‘s plans, having started just one game in all competitions this season.
Following injuries to Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen, West Ham are also keen to add to sign a striker.
Brighton’s Evan Ferguson, 20, is supposedly the leading candidate.

The Seagulls are open to loaning him to another Prem club to help him regain his form.
Wolves star Hwang Hee-chan, 28, is another target, but he has impressed under new manager Vitor Pereira with two goals in two games.
West Ham also like the look of Middlesbrough striker Emmanuel Latte Lath, 26, who has scored ten goals in the Championship this term.
Despite mounting pressure, reports suggest the Hammers are focusing on improving Julen Lopetegui‘s squad rather than changing manager this month.
But more defeats could spell the end and Graham Potter is thought to be waiting in the wings to take the job.
