West Ham is looking forward to a big transfer before the closing stages of the January transfer window. According to a West Ham insider, the Hammers boardroom has hinted at a mega transfer. However, given the short period, the chances look slim.
The fanbase of the club is seemingly frustrated by the lack of transfer activity in the January window. Meanwhile, the lack of transfer might cause problems in the second half of the season.
The Hammers are currently in the fifth position on the Premier League table. The Hammers have the Europa League last 16 and the fifth round of the FA Cup to look forward to.
However, with less than only four days until the window closes, West Ham has failed to register any signing in the winter transfer window.
However, the Hammers boss Moyes insisted that he wants to bring in at least two players and revealed he has the full backing of West Ham co-owners.
Possibilities of West Ham’s transfer and their possible targets
As per reports, The Hammers are in search of a striker and a defender. The management is looking for a long-term replacement for their talisman striker Michail Antonio. Indeed Antonio has even admitted he could do with some help up front.
Moyes also accepted that he has been looking forward to a big signing for the past two years without success. However, time is running out for that to change. Even fans are quick to point out that West Ham may not get this chance again for a long time.
According to insiders Claret and Hugh,
“The reality is that we have just one “tiny” chance of buying a striker despite a bid of £50million having recently been knocked back by an unknown club.
We have learned that despite several players having been put to the manager he considers none of them good enough other than the mysterious £50million striker.
But we were told this afternoon that it’s now very unlikely to happen with chances being rated at less than five percent.”
Defender Attila Szalai and center-forwards Hugo Ekitike and Dominic Calvert Lewin have been linked for a move to West Ham. So, time will tell if West Ham manages to sign any of the rumoured players.
