West Ham United got a much-needed victory against Nottingham Forest after dropping Nayef Aguerd and switching to a back four.
Aguerd is now set to join Marseille, but West Ham may have a replacement for the centre-back lined up.
Sky Sports has reported that "West Ham have expressed interest in Toulouse defender Charlie Cresswell."
Who is West Ham target Charlie Cresswell?
Charlie Cresswell began his career with Leeds United, for whom he represented five times in the Premier League.
Whilst at Leeds, Cresswell was loaned out to West Ham's biggest rivals, Millwall.

As it was only on loan, Hammers fans should forgive Cresswell if he joins the East London side.
Cresswell then joined Toulouse permanently and helped them finish 10th in Ligue 1 last season.
The centre-back has also won the European Under-21 Championship twice with England. However, he is yet to play for the Three Lions at senior level.
Playing in the Premier League will give Cresswell a much better chance of getting picked by Thomas Tuchel.
Graham Potter has received criticism recently, but West Ham's manager is renowned for developing young players.
