Reports linking Keisuke Honda with a move to West Ham show no signs of dying down.
The Japanese midfielder could be available for as little as £5 million in January and he would provide even more quality in a midfield that already boasts a lot of talent.
Honda has fallen out of favour at Milan and he recently had a pop at the management for their criticism of the players:
“There is no point in blaming the players. Milan have used countless players over the past few years, and this year €100m (£75m) was spent.
“There are a lot of players who play international football, and they still can’t perform for Milan. If we don’t learn from this, it means that we are far from rebuilding this club.
“Looking at the past few years, I think it is clear this club cannot start over unless a lot of money is spent, like PSG or Manchester City ”
Honda is one of Japan’s most talented footballers
It looks as if the 29-year-old’s days are numbered and he could be set for a move to the Premier League in January. The Hammers have found it difficult to break teams down when the opposition sits deep and defends.
Honda’s passing ability and creativity could be a valuable acquisition for Bilic if he is looking for more midfielders to add to his squad.

Well at least the players can ask him (if he signs) for discount on a mugen civic.
