West Ham United Football Club are plotting an ambitious bid for Adam Johnson.

The England international has struggled to nail down a regular place in the Manchester City side this season, which has been a source of huge frustration for the winger.

It is believed Roberto Mancini is prepared to listen to offers for the former Middlesbrough man in the summer, when there is sure to be much interest in his signature.

And Fans FC understands that if the Hammers clinch a return to the Premier League, they are willing to make Johnson, 24, their headline signing at around £6million.
