Nuno Espirito Santo is obviously very keen to bolster his ranks at West Ham United in the January transfer window.
Pablo and ‘Taty’ Castellanos have already joined West Ham, but it goes without saying that Nuno‘s work is far from finished.
The Hammers’ current plight means that relegation from the Premier League is a very real prospect this season.
However, Nuno is desperately trying to bring more balance to his squad before the January transfer window closes.
What are your EXPECTATIONS for Taty Castellanos? 🇦🇷
What does he need to do to justify that £27m price-tag?
The good news is that David Sullivan seems to be ready to offer his full support to Nuno in the January window.
However, the bad news is that the Hammers boss needs to strengthen his squad in pretty much every single department of the pitch.
That means that numerous players will probably have to leave in order for the owners to balance the books.
One of Nuno’s latest transfer targets means it could be the end for one player in particular at the London Stadium.
Nuno Espirito Santo ready to bring an end to painful West Ham experiment
More exciting transfer news emerged for the Hammers late on Monday night.
It was claimed by The Daily Mail that Nuno is keen to bring Bento Matheus Krepski to the London Stadium from Saudi side Al-Nassr.
Bento, 26, is a very highly-rated Brazilian goalkeeper, albeit not a household name.
While Bento is said to favour a move to Genoa over West Ham, the fact that Nuno is interested in signing him means it could be curtains for one player.
One of Graham Potter’s most painful summer experiments could be close to ending.
The Hammers signed Mads Hermansen from Leicester City in the summer for around £20 million (BBC Sport).
Much was expected of the 25-year-old but it’s fair to say that his spell at the London Stadium has been disastrous so far.
West Ham’s Mads Hermansen experiment was doomed from the start
Hermansen was brought to West Ham by Potter due to his so-called ability with his feet.
However, there is one huge problem – he’s just not a very good shot-stopper. Nor does he command his penalty area with any kind of authority.
West Ham are in hot pursuit of Bento but he does not fancy them…😖
What would YOU do to convince him to join?
The Dane has only played four games for West Ham, conceding a shocking 11 goals in the process.
Perhaps Hermansen will come good at some point but it’s very clear to see that he’s just not what the Hammers need right now.
Whether West Ham sign Bento or not, Nuno making a move for a new goalkeeper proves that he has lost faith in Hermansen.
The Hammers boss needs to provide stronger competition for Alphonse Areola.
Hermansen clearly hasn’t cut the mustard at West Ham and hopefully Nuno will be ruthless when trying to get rid of him.
The Portuguese manager trying to bring a new goalkeeper to West Ham in the January transfer window offers a big clue regarding how he feels about the former Leicester City stopper.
