West Ham United are said to be interested in Birmingham City forward Che Adams.

Birmingham City manager Garry Monk has told the Birmingham Mail that Che Adams has not been distracted by links with West Ham United.

The Daily Star reported yesterday that West Ham could lodge a £10 million bid for the forward on deadline day.

However, Monk insists that Adams has not asked to join West Ham, as he is happy at Birmingham.

“He has not come to me and said anything at all. I have had nothing come across my table that’s anything that I need to concern myself with,” Monk said.

“Like I said those things are for the club, at this moment as far as I am aware it’s speculation and I don’t concentrate on speculation. I concentrate on the football and you saw tonight how focused Che is on the football.”

Adams scored for Birmingham last night, as they picked up a 3-3 draw with Swansea City.

The prolific forward has now netted 15 goals this season, with West Ham taking note of his performances.

The Hammers have been quiet in January so far, but could leave a move right down to the last minute.

If Adams was to move to the London Stadium his electric pace could give Manuel Pellegrini a new outlet up-front for the remainder of the season.
