Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon has confirmed that West Ham have asked about winger Shaun Wright-Phillips.
The England man is rumoured to be a £10m target for the Hammers, and Kenyon has confirmed that a call has been made from Upton Park about Wright-Phillips.
He moved to Stamford Bridge from Manchester City for £21m two years ago but has failed to hold down a regular starting place with the Blues.
England boss Steve McClaren has voiced his concerns that he is not playing regular football, with Tottenham's Aaron Lennon overtaking him in the international reckoning.
Kenyon has now confirmed that the Hammers are interested, saying: "We have had some interest from West Ham but not an official offer.
"We are not looking to sell players but if we receive an official offer then we will review the situation, that's what we do as a matter of course.
"The interest came in the context of the pre-takeover period at West Ham in terms of whether there was any possibility of something happening and that funds may be available if the takeover went through.
"Any discussion about figures is purely speculative as there has not been an offer."
If Chelsea make it clear they are willing to sell, West Ham are unlikely to be the only team interested in the diminutive winger.
