David Moyes could have over £60 million to spend improving his West Ham United squad in the summer.

Moyes elected not to use the £20m from the sale of Sebastien Haller in January.

Instead the West Ham boss has banked that money to spend in the summer instead.

Now according to a new report the Hammers are planning to sell fringe player Manuel Lanzini for between £10-15m (Football Insider).

West Ham looking to sell Lanzini for £10-15m this summer – report

Football Insider states that Lanzini’s future is ‘very much up in the air ahead of the year’s main transfer window’.

“A West Ham source has told Football Insider that the club value Lanzini between £10m and £15m after he slipped down the pecking order in David Moyes’ second spell at the club,” Football Insider reports.

“There was not only interest from European big guns PSG in the recent window.

“Clubs in Turkey and the Middle-East were also keeping close tabs on the technically gifted playmaker, who has been capped five times by Argentina.”

Reported plans to sell trio for realistic prices would add £40m to Haller money

That would boost Moyes’s kitty to over £30m. And as frequently reported in recent months West Ham also plan to try and offload both Felipe Anderson (The Guardian) and Andriy Yarmolenko too.

West Ham are thought to be open to selling Anderson for between £15-20m and will be open to lower offers to get highest earner Yarmolenko’s £115k per week salary off the books.

If West Ham’s plan comes off Moyes will have over £60m to spend on new signings.

And that is without any investment from co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold.

West Ham fans will fully expect the duo to give Moyes some extra money on top of that as part of a regular annual transfer budget.

Supporters demand as much given they reluctantly left their beloved Upton Park on the basis West Ham would be able to spend big in the transfer market.

And they will be keeping a close tally on Moyes’s transfer kitty regardless of the impact of Covid.

Prudent Moyes will make sure West Ham’s money is spent carefully and wisely

With Moyes, though, it is as much about spending wisely as it is big.

Some of the Scot’s acquisitions have proved very shrewd.

Plans are in place to make Jesse Lingard’s move permanent for around £10m according to West Ham insiders Claret & Hugh.

From the self-raised fund alone, that would leave around £45-50m for a striker, back-up defensive midfielder and potentially a left-back.

With Lukasz Fabianski set to sign a new two-year deal (WeszloFM), the Hammers are not thought to be planning a move for a new long term goalkeeper until the summer of 2022 at the earliest.

Many fans are aggrieved the club did not go all out to sign a new forward in the winter window.

West Ham have already paid a heavy price for that. Moyes’s side have looked toothless at times of late.

That was certainly the case during a solid but unambitious display in the FA Cup at Manchester United.

And persistent injury issues for the club’s only senior striker Michail Antonio threaten to derail West Ham’s promising league campaign.
