West Ham United are thought to be lining up a new bid for Manchester United centre-back Harry Maguire.
According to ESPN, Manchester United defender Harry Maguire is back on the West Ham radar ahead of the January transfer window.
In fact, it was claimed that Tim Steidten ‘vetoed’ the move to bring the towering defender to East London (Football Insider).
However, since then, things haven’t gone well for Maguire with Manchester United, and it seems as though he needs to leave the club in order to salvage his career.
And with the Hammers still one centre-back short, David Moyes could definitely do with Maguire at the London Stadium.
And it seems as though the Scot could go back in for the England international…
Harry Maguire to West Ham could be back on in January
ESPN reckon that the Hammers boss David Moyes is weighing up a January bid for Maguire.
Now, he has actually been getting more game-time recently, with so many of Manchester United’s central defenders having succumbed to injury.
The 30-year-old may still be looking to leave Old Trafford though, because he knows he won’t get regular football under Erik ten Hag when everyone is fit.
The England international is perfectly suited to Moyes’s system at the London Stadium, and I have no doubts that he will flourish in the Claret and Blue.
He thrives when playing as part of a deep back-line and he would be the perfect long-term replacement for Angelo Ogbonna.
If West Ham sign Harry Maguire either in January or next summer, I wouldn’t be surprised one little bit.
