According to a source close to West Ham, David Sullivan, a vice president of the London club, arrived in Marseille to discuss a possible loan of Doria, the Brazilian defender.
Left on the sidelines by Marcelo Bielsa, Doria still hopes for a loan deal as the last hours of the transfer window are unfolding.
Lorient has express interest and so has West Ham United. The Hammers have theadvantage of being able to pay the full salary of the Brazilian defender.
