What West Ham have offered Hull City as late swoop for Ryan Giles wanted

West Ham's interest in signing Ryan Giles has been coming out over the last few days.

Following El Hadji Malick Diouf's move to Brentford, Nuno Espirito Santo's side have been left light in that department.

Ollie Scarles has been utilised there, but the West Ham academy graduate does not have a proper back-up or competition for his place, with Kyle Walker-Peters used out of position instead.

Giles was a key part of the Hull City squad that achieved promotion last season, and the Irons likely want that level of experience to help their ambitions.

And details of a West Ham offer for Giles have now emerged.

Why West Ham have likely got definitive answer on Ryan Giles pursuit after bid

West Ham are pushing to replace Diouf before the transfer deadline.

According to journalist, Jacob Steinberg, who reports for The Guardian, the Hammers did send an offer to take left-back Giles on loan this season with an option to buy.

However, as already known, Hull City manager Sergej Jakirovic has got personally involved to keep Giles.

A move for the Englishman is unlikely to take place, unless there is a significant U-turn.

Whether or not that is possible remains to be seen, as Giles is a starting Premier League left-back for the Tigers.

He has started in their two Premier League fixtures so far, including in Saturday's win against Coventry City, with Hull yet to lose and to concede this campaign.

Is Kyle Walker-Peters a long-term left-back solution?

At the weekend in the Hammers' 1-1 draw against Stoke City, Nuno opted to bench Scarles with Walker-Peters starting at left-back.

It is not the Englishman's natural position, and right-footed left-backs can come with a lot of issues.

Walker-Peters may find himself guilty of allowing wingers down the line as he looks to push them inside so he can tackle with his preferred foot.

So, it may not be the best long-term solution available for West Ham, with a natural left-footer certainly needed.
