The Belgian is reportedly wanted by West Ham, but another report suggests he’s not on the radar.
West Ham United are not interested in a move for Marouane Fellaini – according to a report from ESPN.
It had been reported earlier in the week by the Telegraph that Manchester United’s Belgian midfielder was on Slaven Bilic’s watchlist.

However, ESPN is reporting differently today. They report that sources at the London club have informed them that Bilic is not considering a move for Fellaini at present – with the priority of the club to sign a central defender and a striker in the winter.
The Belgian has been linked with an exit from Manchester United this week after his horror cameo against Everton in the Premier League at the weekend.

He was brought on by Jose Mourinho to add defensive strength to the United side but instead gave away a stupid penalty which saw Everton draw level.
So, there is clearly conflicting reports on whether West Ham are indeed interested in signing the player in the New Year.
Most West Ham fans will be hoping for some improvements to the club in January but Fellaini may not be the name they want to see coming through the entrance.
