West Ham boss David Moyes could well be set to be replaced by one of the most entertaining football managers on the planet.

David Moyes looked like a man who knew that his tenure as West Ham boss had come to an end yesterday.

His Hammers side were absolutely battered 5-2 by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, and Moyes admitted after the game that he’d totally understand if he was moved on by the club’s owners.

It’s obvious to see that his days at the London Stadium are numbered, as far as I’m concerned anyway. That said, a decision on Moyes’s future will still not be made until the end of the season.

If that really is the case it’s utterly bizarre. It is what it is though. I still think he’ll be gone come next month, and then we can start to really move forward as a club.

One man in particular is being heavily linked with a move to West Ham to replace Moyes, and it appears as though he’s already got a very exciting signing lined up for us…

The Scot just hasn’t got what it takes to guide us on to the promised land.

If we really want to make some genuine progress, the appointment of a manger who implements an attractive brand of football will be a necessity.

And one man who’s been linked with us really does fit into that category…

According to a report from Torino Granata, Maurizio Sarri is keen to bring Torino midfielder Samuele Ricci to West Ham, if he is indeed selected to replace Moyes.

The 65-year-old is Italian well known for building his teams around a top-class, technically gifted deep-lying midfielder. He had Jorginho at Napoli before he brought him to Chelsea.

And now Ricci could be London Stadium bound, if Sarri makes the switch himself.

The 21-year-old Torino ace is widely considered to be one of the most outstanding prospects in Italian football right now.

Ricci possesses exceptional technical ability and has incredible coolness and composure when in possession.

I would love him at the club, and the same can be said for Sarri.

The 65-year-old apparently wants to take over at West Ham, and it has already been claimed that he’s keen to bring Matteo Guendouzi and Alessio Romagnoli to the London Stadium as his first two signings.

Those two players are decent, but the Torino star is on another level all together.

If Sarri does replace David Moyes as the new West Ham boss, and he brought Ricci into the club, I think it’d be a real sign that we’re going places.
