Bilel Mohsni heading for West Ham United

West Ham United are reportedly ready to offer Bilel Mohsni the chance to play Premier League football.

The 24-year-old Southend United defender has been linked with a host of clubs over the previous year, with the likes of Stoke City and Blackpool said to be extremely keen.

However, it appears that the Hammers have stolen a march on their rivals by offering the Frenchman a trial, according to Sky Sports News.

The Paris-born centre-back, who joined the Shrimpers in 2010, has 12 months remaining on his deal at Roots Hall.
