Premier League outfit West Ham are said to be watching Fiorentina striker Adrian Mutu to make a move during the January transfer window.

After Bayern Munich forward Luca Toni snubbed a move to Upton Park earlier this month, the Hammers technical director, Gianluca Nani, has reportedly turned his attention to the ex-Chelsea man, who is tied to Fiorentina until June 2012 and is currently on the sidelines.

The 30-year-old has been hampered by injury problems throughout the first half of the season and has slipped down the pecking order at the Franchi due to the form of Alberto Gilardino and Stevan Jovetic.

And Mutu’s agent, Giovanni Becali, has hinted his client could indeed opt to seek a fresh start when the transfer window opens in the new year.

“I can’t rule out the possibility of Mutu leaving in January, Adrian just needs to get well and play. We’ll see if any offers come in next month.” the representative said.
