West Ham United have been linked with a host of transfers in the January window.

The Hammers ended a dismal eight-game winless run when they beat Chelsea 1-0 on Saturday.

Victory at Stamford Bridge lifted the doom and gloom that had engulfed West Ham of late.

Life in project Pellegrini yet

It has also eased the pressure on manager Manuel Pellegrini, who was twice made favourite for the sack in the last two weeks.

West Ham go into another difficult away game at Wolves tonight in a much better frame of mind.

But supporters know the club must still strengthen in January.

Fans have been angry this season after co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold gave Pellegrini and director of football Mario Husillos a meagre £25million to spend in the summer.

West Ham are sorely lacking in several key areas.

And one win does not change that fact.

The window opens in just under four weeks.

And while Pellegrini remained tight lipped on the subject he has hinted he will be looking to try and do some business.

“January is so far out,” Pellegrini told whufc.com.

“We are thinking about the next game – after that, we will see what we can do.”

It remains to be seen whether Husillos will still be around in January as speculation intensifies over his future.

And whether Sullivan and Gold cough up some money for Pellegrini to strengthen is another thing entirely.
