West Ham could swoop for Manchester United reject Sanchez

West Ham United have reportedly made contact with Alexis Sanchez's agent as they aim to sign him in the off-season.

The Hammers' recruitment over recent times has often been the subject of great jest, with the club frequently splashing out on players with name recognition who then fail to make the grade.

Andy Carroll and Jack Wilshere are two notable examples, and according to the latest report, the club have taken the initial steps to lining up another questionable purchase.

Italian publication FC Inter News (via SportWitness) reveal that West Ham have been in touch with Alexis Sanchez's agent, Fernando Felicevich, over the possibility of a summer switch.
