WEST HAM are ready to bid for Cesc Fabregas if he fails to nail down a place in Chelsea’s first team squad.
The Spaniard was a substitute for the first five games of the season under Antonio Conte – with the likes of N’Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic getting the nod over him.
But things turned sour for the former Barcelona midfielder against former club Arsenal as he was the first player hauled off by Conte 60 minutes in after they went 3-0 down in the first half.
And, according to the Mirror, the Hammers would be happy to offer Fabregas an escape route from Stamford Bridge.
Slaven Bilic's side have had a rough start to their debut season in the Olympic Stadium.

Bilic would be more than happy to accommodate the World Cup winner if he fails to secure his place in Conte's starting XI.
