Scott Parker could join Chelsea FC on loan from West Ham - report

Chelsea have reportedly approached West Ham about the possibility of signing midfielder Scott Parker on loan.

Parker was linked with a return to his former club earlier this week after one bookmaker reported a sustained gamble on the 30-year-old joining the Blues this summer.

And according to the Daily Express, Chelsea have asked the Hammers about taking the England international on a season-long loan deal as cover for the injured Michael Essien.

Essien is facing several months on the sidelines with a knee injury, forcing Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas to look for cover.

Parker is expected to leave West Ham this summer following the club's relegation to the Championship and while Aston Villa, Liverpool and Tottenham have all been linked, a move to Stamford Bridge could now happen.

West Ham reportedly want around £8million for Parker if they sell him on a permanent deal, but a loan would give them the option of taking the midfielder back if they return to the top flight at the first attempt next May.

Bookmakers Victor Chandler on Monday afternoon had slashed the odds on Parker joining the Blues this summer from 20/1 to Evens.

Parker had an unsuccessful 18-month spell with the west London club before joining Newcastle in June 2005 and then switching to Upton Park 12 months later.
