Ashley Young's agent is understood to have contacted West Ham with view to finding his player a club in London.
The 30-year-old Manchester United winger signed a new three-year contract at Old Trafford last year but is reported to be unsettled in the North West and seeking a return south.At this stage there is no indication that West Ham are interested in bringing the former England international to the Olympic Stadium, but as a winger - who can also play in a more advanced role - Young could be viewed as a suitable replacement for Enner Valencia, who is widely tipped to leave West Ham this summer.
The Hammers previously attempted to sign Young in the 2007 winter transfer window but an £8million bid was rejected by Watford, his club at the time.
Days later, a £10million bid was accepted - but Young refused to make the move to Upton Park, choosing to sign for Aston VIlla instead. He joined Manchester United in 2011, following three seasons at Villa Park.
