French left-back Patrice Evra, who is in the status of a free agent, can return to the English Premier League.

West Ham is in talks with left-back Patrice Evra, according to the London Evening Standard.

In November, Marcel terminated the contract with Evra, who hit the fan in the face, and since then, the 36-year-old Frenchman is without a club.

It is reported that on Tuesday, February 6, Patrice visited the training base of "hammers" and the parties are close to concluding an agreement.

Evra already has experience of appearances in the English Premier League - from 2006 to 2014 he played for Manchester United, including under the direction of West Ham's current manager David Moyes.

After 26 rounds West Ham scored 27 points and is on the 12th position in the standings.
