Gunners boss Mikel Arteta allegedly wants to bring the talented 19-year-old forward to the Emirates in January.

And that is bad news for Hammers manager David Moyes. West Ham want to sign Abdallah Sima according to Claret and Hugh.

The east London outfit have forged a wonderful relationship with Slavia Prague since bringing Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal to the London Stadium.

West Ham could have their work cut-out now, however, if they are to sign Sima. Arsenal are keen to bring the teenager to north London according to Calcio Mercato.

Missing out on Sima would be a real blow for West Ham. David Moyes desperately needs to bolster his centre-forward ranks. And the young Senegalese ace seems to be the ideal January addition for us.

The Slavia Prague ace seems to have a real unique talent. He has been absolutely on fire for the Czech outfit this season.

Sima has scored 13 goals in 18 games this term (Transfermarkt). The teenager is still very raw and has to work on his technique. His talent and potential is undeniable, however.

There was once a time where Arsenal would have been in a far greater position to attract players than West Ham.

The Gunners are in somewhat of a mess at the moment, however. So West Ham could still beat Arsenal to Sima’s signature.

Especially considering the relationship we currently have with Slavia Prague.

Gunners manager Mikel Arteta allegedly now chasing the 19-year-old will undoubtedly be an unwanted complication for the Hammers, however.
