Hammers boss David Moyes has a lot of work to do before next week’s transfer deadline, if he is to guide his side to a top 10 finish this season.

The Scot’s priority should be to strengthen his defensive and centre-forward departments first and foremost.

But if there is any extra cash left over, the addition of a goalscoring midfielder would be a wise move.

And Hans Vanaken might be just the man for the job. Belgian media outlet HLN suggest that West Ham have submitted a bid worth more than £14 million for the 28-year-old.

According to a report from the Sun, Vanaken would jump at the chance to join West Ham this summer.

Stats

Vanaken has racked up four goals and two assists already this season in just six league games for Club Brugge (Who Scored).

Last season he racked up 13 goals and three assists in 29 Jupiler League outings (Transfermarkt).

The 28-year-old could be considered as an upgrade on Manuel Lanzini and Pablo Fornals. And he could very well thrive at the London Stadium.

If West Ham manage to pick Vanaken up for just £14 million it would be an absolute steal. And the Belgian ace could very well go on to be a real hit in east London.
