West Ham manager David Moyes has given another strong hint that he will be staying at the East London Premier League club beyond the end of the season, by scouting Scottish international John McGinn.

Assistant manager Billy McKinlay was at Easter Road at the weekend to watch Hibs’ 23-year-old midfield player McGinn impress in a 2-0 win over Aberdeen.

Moyes is keen to add British talent to the West Ham squad and McGinn could be one of his first summer signings if he decides to stay at the club.

West Ham co-owner David Sullivan said last week that he hoped Moyes stays as manager for “many, many years”.

"What I like is that he is very hard-working,” said Sullivan. “You see him at grounds watching games. He puts a long shift in at the training ground. The harder you work, the better the results.

"He's a good manager and will prove it. I hope he stays with us for many, many years and achieves things and wins things."

Moyes, who has signed a short-term deal until the end of the season, has consistently insisted that no decision would be made until the end of the season although he did refute suggestions that he would leave the club whether they were still in the Premier League or not.

A delegation of supporters’ groups meanwhile, have been invited to meet the club’s board this week to air their grievances.

The groups, led by the Real West Ham Fans Action Group, are planning a march before West Ham’s home Premier League match against Burnley on 10 March.

Argentine midfield player Manuel Lanzini meanwhile, was today looking to return to full training and could be available for Saturday’s match at Liverpool.
