West Ham United manager David Moyes was at the FA Cup tie between Chelsea and Norwich City.

West Ham United manager David Moyes has written in The London Evening Standard that he did not go to watch Chelsea in midweek to keep tabs on Michy Batshuayi.

The former Sunderland and Everton manager was at Stamford Bridge during the FA Cup third-round replay Premier League club Chelsea and Championship side Norwich at Stamford Bridge in London on Wednesday evening.

According to The Sun, the Hammers are interested in signing striker Batshuayi from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the January transfer window.

West Ham manager Moyes has made it clear that he did not attend the game on Wednesday evening to scout Batshuayi.

The former Manchester United boss, though, has suggested that he was at the match to watch some Norwich players, having been told that they have been doing well this season.

While Moyes has not made it clear that he was scouting Norwich players, his comments do suggest that maybe he could be looking at them.

Moyes wrote in The London Evening Standard: “I went to watch Chelsea play Norwich in the FA Cup on Wednesday night and I knew that would increase the speculation about Andy Carroll and Chelsea with Michy Batshuayi coming to us.

“Categorically, I did not go to Stamford Bridge to watch Batshuayi or any other player in particular.

“I like to get out and watch plenty of matches, I hadn’t seen Norwich this season and there were some players there who had been mentioned to me as having been doing well.”
