Chelsea left-back Ian Maatsen is a surprise target for Premier League side West Ham United.
The Blues are unsure of whether to send Maatsen out on loan or keep him in the first team this term.
Per The Mail, they now have another conundrum, with West Ham ready to pay a fee to sign him permanently.
Maatsen was outstanding on loan at Burnley last season, helping Vincent Kompany's side gain promotion to the Premier League.
The 21-year-old wants to prove himself at Chelsea, but is also willing to move for game time.
A move to West Ham, who want a young full back having sold Aaron Cresswell, may appeal.
