West Ham wants to acquire two players from Chelsea during the upcoming January transfer window.
Chelsea's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Carney Chukwuemeka have caught the attention of West Ham, who are looking to add them to their team during the January transfer window. The Hammers are facing a tough time with manager Julen Lopetegui under pressure and the team struggling in 14th place in the Premier League. They are hoping to make some key additions to the squad to turn their season around.

With injuries to important players like Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen, West Ham is in need of reinforcements in the attacking department. They are currently looking at potential targets such as Evan Ferguson from Brighton, Hwang Hee-chan from Wolves, and Latte Lath from Middlesbrough. Antonio is expected to miss the rest of the season due to a car accident, while Bowen, the top scorer for the club, is out for six weeks with a fractured foot.

According to The Telegraph, West Ham is also looking to strengthen their options in attacking midfield, which is where Dewsbury-Hall and Chukwuemeka come in. The Chelsea duo has caught the eye of the Hammers and they are firmly on their radar. The club is hoping to secure loan deals for these players, but they are also open to selling players to generate funds for potential transfers.

Dewsbury-Hall joined Chelsea from Leicester for a hefty fee of £30 million in the summer, but the 26-year-old has struggled to get regular playing time. He is yet to start a single league game this season. On the other hand, 21-year-old Chukwuemeka has made 32 appearances for Chelsea since joining from Aston Villa, but he has not featured in the Premier League under manager Enzo Maresca.

Speaking to the media recently, Maresca expressed his understanding that players like Chukwuemeka may want to leave in search of more playing time. He also assured that the club will try to find a suitable solution for players who are unhappy with their current situation at Chelsea.

It remains to be seen if any of the Chelsea players will knock on the manager's door and express their desire to leave during the January transfer window. Maresca emphasized that each player's situation is different and the club will work on finding the best solution for everyone. West Ham will be hoping to secure the services of Dewsbury-Hall and Chukwuemeka to boost their chances of climbing up the Premier League table.
