Former Everton manager David Moyes is reportedly eyeing a move to sign Michael Keane for West Ham United in the January transfer window.

The Lowdown: Lack of game-time

The 29-year-old has suffered from a lack of game-time under Frank Lampard so far this season, having made just three first-team appearances (Transfermarkt).

The last of those came in the 4-1 loss at Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup in midweek, where he put in a disappointing performance.

The Latest: Approach made

As per Football Insider, West Ham have made an 'approach' to sign Keane in January and have officially 'registered their interest'.

The Irons were interested in signing the Everton defender in the summer and are now 'back in' for him, with Moyes thought to be a 'huge admirer' of the 29-year-old.

The Goodison Park outfit are 'willing to listen to offers' for Keane of around £10m.

The Verdict: Sell him

Given his lack of game-time, the Toffees should be looking to cash in on Keane in January if they get the chance.

Having brought in both Conor Coady and James Tarkowski in the summer, Frank Lampard has no fewer than six senior centre-back options in the Everton squad at the moment, which is more than enough to be able to let Keane go.

He is currently earning £80,000 per week at Goodison Park, making him one of the higher earners in the squad, and getting him off of the wage bill could also free up some significant funds for one or two January moves.
