WEST Ham United could complete a Swiss double by signing former Blackburn Rovers left-back Bruno Berner.
The 30-year-old former FC Grasshopper, Oviedo, SC Freiburg and FC Basel man is a free agent after being released by Rovers at the end of last season.
Berner has been in discussions with Championship sides Leicester City and Nottingham Forest, but the Irons are also reportedly interested.
The player also spent part of the season at Norwich City, but failed to earn a contract at Carrow Road.
Manager Alan Curbishley is in the market for a back-up left-back as first choice George McCartney is out with a hamstring injury.
Berner has 16 full caps for Switzerland and was in his nation's squad for Euro 2004.
Should he join West Ham, the player would be the second Swiss to move to Upton Park this summer following the arrival of Lazio midfielder Valon Behrami a fortnight ago.
