But a £30million deal looks almost impossible to get sorted with Sevilla sacking boss Eduardo Berizzi last week.

The Spaniards have put transfers on hold while they appoint a new man to look after the rest of the season.

Moyes is a massive fan of Hibernian midfielder McGinn, 23, who has been tipped to make the grade in the Premier League.

The Scot could cost around £4million if his club look to cash in on their asset.

The former Manchester United boss has clearly targeted the areas to strengthen, with the heart of midfield an issue – one the boss hopes to solve with the Scotland international.

The Hammers are light in central midfield, with skipper Mark Noble sidelined.

Moyes will be looking to get back to winning way when his side travel to Bournemouth on boxing day aftering suffering a 3-2 defeat to Newcastle on Saturday.
