Local media are this afternoon linking West Ham with a move for Barnet winger Mark Marshall.
The Hammers are said to be one of three clubs casting an eye over the 24-year-old by today's edition of the Hendon & Finchley Times.Fellow Championship clubs Leeds United and Portsmouth are also credited with being interested in the player, who is out of contract at the end of the current season.
"I would expect a lot of interest in Mark this month as his performances over the last 18 months have been very good," Marshall's 'advisor', Saif Rubie, said.
"Two clubs saw bids rejected for him in the summer and I know a lot of clubs are watching him and weighing up moves for him this month.
"Mark is out of contract in the summer and if he doesn't leave in January he will see out his contract and leave in the summer."
The Jamaican-born Marshall spent four plays playing non league football - for Yeovil, Carshalton, Grays and Eastleigh - before landing a two year deal with Swindon Town, the club currently managed by former Hammer Paolo Di Canio.
Having barely featured at the Country Ground - Marshall made just 19 appearances, most of them from the bench during his two-year stay there - he was released on a free at the end of the 2009/10 season and snapped up by Barnet that same summer.
