West Ham aim to catch Rat
WEST HAM are weighing up a cut-price deal for Razvan Rat.
The highly-rated Shakhtar Donetsk defender has come into view for the Hammers who are looking to shore up their defence.
Sam Allardyce wants to add some much-needed experience to the back line as his side who have endured a sticky spell as of late, winning just one of their last seven Premier League matches.

Although the Hammers have already secured a deal for Emmanuel Pogatetz, they want to do some last-minute business before the window closes.
Donetsk are happy to arrange a transfer for a player, who looks unlikely to sign a new deal with the club.
Rat has made more than 300 appearances for Shakhtar during his nine-and-a-half years spent with the Ukrainian outfit.
