West Ham United are planning to increase their interest in signing Rennes midfielder Jordan James in the final part of the window. Jordan James has been identified as a potential target. A move could be made as they hope to secure the deal ahead of their rivals, according to former West Ham scout Mick Brown via Football Insider. West Ham are among those who have been monitoring his situation throughout last season and into the summer window, and could now be ready to take action. The club could make a late move to complicate his situation in an attempt to attract him to the London Stadium.

Jordan James has been strongly linked with West Ham. West Ham lost Mateus Fernandes earlier this summer and recently sanctioned the exit of Freddie Potts, but it appears that James will not be joining them.

Jordan James is back at Rennes. West Ham and Saints are interested in him. Two Premier League clubs are also pursuing the player. Rennes now sets the price for James after Leicester let a buy option they had on him last season lapse. It is likely there will be competition to sign James, and mid-table Premier League sides may also show their interest.

Alan Nixon of The Sun has reported that West Ham United are targeting Jordan James and are preparing to act in the rest of this month's window. Rennes are open to selling Jordan James for a £10 million fee and would prefer a sale to another loan exit. The Hammers are described as being on the periphery of the pursuit at present, while also pursuing Celtic midfielder Arne Engels.
