The Burnley boss has been linked with West Ham United over this past week.

Clarets boss Sean Dyche has been heavily linked with various managerial jobs in recent weeks, including the likes of Everton and Leicester City.

Another club rumoured to be hot on Dyche’s tail are the Hammers, with the Daily Mail reporting that they are already preparing a financial package to lure the 46-year-old to the London Stadium.

Whilst Slaven Bilic still remains very much in charge at West Ham, he is undoubtedly walking on very thin ice, and should he eventually leave, with Dyche getting the job, here are three players the 46-year-old could bring with him to east London:

Tom Heaton:

The 31-year-old stopper has been in sensational form for the Clarets over the past couple of seasons, and he would be an undoubted upgrade for the Hammers.

Joe Hart is currently the number one goalkeeper at the London Stadium, but he is only there on loan, and he hasn’t exactly set the world alight during his time with the club.

Adrian is another option for West Ham, but there are serious question marks over whether he is actually good enough for the Premier League.

Heaton would be a superb acquisition, and would surely help the east Londoners tighten up their fragile back-line.

Ben Mee:

The 28-year-old versatile defender has more than proven his worth during his time with Burnley.

A centre-back by trade, Mee can also operate as a left-back, and that type of versatility could prove to be invaluable for the Hammers.

With Jose Fonte closing in on turning 34, a younger addition is required in defence, and Mee could be just the man for the job.

Robbie Brady:

The talented 25-year-old is a long-term transfer target for West Ham, with the Evening Standard reporting that the Irishman was being monitored by the Hammers back in 2016.

Brady is another versatile player who can operate in either the left midfield position or the left-back role.

He possesses undoubted class and would certainly inject a much-needed amount of quality into the West Ham side.
