Moyes interested in Schurrle

Andre Schurrle had a disappointing start to the season. The World Cup winner has struggled with injuries and has only received 339 minutes of game-time this season, a development typical of his time at Borussia Dortmund so far.

According to Daily Star, West Ham is keeping tabs on his situation at Borussia Dortmund as manager David Moyes is said to want to add experience and drive in the frontline and is looking to make a move for the 27-year-old who needs to prove his fitness and talent once again if he wants to get selected for the German squad for the World Cup.
