West Ham signing Isaiah Jones from Middlesbrough after what he did to Tottenham last season would be a great move.

Hammers boss David Moyes allegedly wants to bring the 23-year-old back to London after his exploits for Boro last term, including a man of the match display giants Tottenham in the FA Cup at the Riverside.

I would absolutely love Jones as the London Stadium. He is an exceptional player who can operate as a right winger or a right wing-back, and his blistering pace is exactly what we need at West Ham.

The way in which he destroyed Tottenham last season would make signing him that little bit sweeter as well!

Vladimir Coufal and Ben Johnson seem to have regressed this season, so the addition of a new right wing-back should be an absolute must for Moyes, either in January or the summer of 2023.

And Moyes bringing in someone who can fulfil that role as well as a more advanced one would be a real bonus…

West Ham signing Isaiah Jones would be a really exciting move

We believe that Jones could end up being a truly stunning acquisition for West Ham.

Jones was in absolutely sensational form for Middlesbrough last season and he put in an unbelievable display against Tottenham in the FA Cup back in March.

The Lambeth-born ace was a key factor behind Boro’s memorable win over Spurs at the Riverside.

Jones bagged 10 goal involvements in 42 Championship games for Middlesbrough last season (Transfermarkt).

The 23-year-old is a right winger by trade but has operated mostly as a right wing-back for Boro, especially since Chris Wilder took over at the Riverside last November. He can operate on either wing if need be.

That is exactly what West Ham need – someone who can play in two positions down the right hand flank.

Jones possesses blistering pace, exceptional dribbling ability and is incredibly strong. He proved that he has what it takes to succeed at the very highest level with his display against Tottenham earlier this year.

He was recently described as ‘unplayable’ by The Mirror.

Jones could be available for around £15 million according to a report from The Hartlepool Mail. That’s sensational value as far as we’re concerned.

Hopefully David Moyes and the West Ham board make this happen, Isaiah Jones would literally be the perfect addition to our squad.
