It’s believed that Norwich star Rowe is high on Moyes’ wish list after a fine season in the Championship.

The 20-year-old has enjoyed a breakout campaign at Carrow Road, where he is fancied as one of their best academy aces in recent years.

In 27 league appearances, the youngster has scored 12 times and his lethal injection of pace combined with silky trickery makes him a difficult customer for defenders.

And that is what Moyes is desperate for, more creativity and goals from his frontline, which has been reliant on Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus this season.

The Hammers will need to move players on, though, and Said Benrahma is one player who could be on his way.

talkSPORT understands that Everton are showing an interest in the Algeria international, who has fallen out of favour in east London.

Moving Benrahma on would free up funds and a spot in the squad for Rowe, who would also count as homegrown.

The 28-year-old has yet to score in the Premier League this season after 13 appearances and has struggled to make an impact.

Nevertheless, Everton are keen to do a deal with West Ham to take the former Brentford star and bolster their own attack.

Sean Dyche, like Moyes, has had problems with his frontline with goals a real problem.

Abdoulaye Doucoure is Everton’s top scorer with just six goals in all competitions.

While Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Beto and Dwight McNeil have a combined nine goals in all competitions.

West Ham currently are chasing a European spot and find themselves sixth in the Premier League, five points behind fifth-placed Tottenham.

Everton, meanwhile, are toiling in the table and are just a point above the relegation zone after suffering a 10-point deduction.
