Alan Hutton
West Ham are set to raid London rivals Tottenham for right-sided pair Alan Hutton and David Bentley , according to Sky Sports this morning.
Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola is eager to strengthen in the January transfer window following the takeover of David Gold and David Sullivan.
David Bentley surprisingly returned to the Spurs first team and scored in the win over Fulham on Tuesday night. Due to the form of Aaron Lennon, the former Arsenal and Blackburn winger has long been linked with a move from White Hart Lane.
Alan Hutton has made just eight Premier League appearances for Tottenham in 2009/2010. He is behind Vedran Corluka in the pecking order for the right back slot and although the Scottish international is eager to leave, Spurs will want to recoup the money they paid Rangers.
Julien Faubert has played much of the season at right back for West Ham despite being predominantly a midfielder and David Bentley would add competition for places in midfield.
