West Ham United manager David Moyes will keep a close eye on one left-back in particular in January.

David Moyes desperately needs to strengthen his left-back ranks at West Ham in the January transfer window.

Aaron Cresswell has regressed badly and Emerson Palmieri needs a proper understudy to push him for his place.

The Hammers are flying high in the Premier League right now, and the addition of another top-class left-back could take us to another level entirely.

Moyes has been heavily linked with a move to sign Bristol City left-back Cameron Pring before (Daily Mail), and now it’s being claimed that Moyes is set to take a closer look at him.

I think he’d be a great signing for us…

West Ham eyeing left-back in January

Claret and Hugh claim that Cameron Pring is a target for the Hammers, and Moyes will obviously get a close look at him during our FA Cup third round clash on Sunday.

He has been described as box office, and the 25-year-old really is an elite left-back – what a signing he’d be for us.

In 32 Championship outings for Bristol City last term, the 25-year-old bagged one goal and six assists. During this appearances he averaged 2.3 tackles, one interception and 2.8 clearances per game (Who Scored).

Standing at over 6ft tall, Pring is also very strong in the air, and averaged 2.7 successful aerial duels per match last season (Who Scored).

He possesses impressive pace and has an absolute wand of a left foot on him. Pring is definitely at the level required to play Premier League football in my opinion.

If West Ham sign the Bristol City left-back in the January transfer window, I think we’ll be in a really strong position heading into the second half of the season.
