Vladimir Coufal is likely to keep his place as the starting right-back, but with Moyes looking to source a back-up, Middlesbrough’s Djed Spence appears to have caught the eye.
According to The Telegraph, Spence is one of the players high on West Ham’s shortlist for the position.
And it’s not just Moyes who has been impressed by Spence with Jose Mourinho once eyeing a move for the 20-year-old, according to the Standard.
