West Ham United allegedly could make a move to sign Dynamo Kyiv winger Viktor Tsygankov in the January transfer window.

That’s according to a report from French publication Jeunes Footeux who claim that the Hammers could face competition from Wolves and Newcastle for the 24-year-old’s signature in January.

Hammers boss David Moyes oversaw a brilliant summer transfer window at the London Stadium and brought in eight top-class new signings.

It could be argued that one area where we still need a bit more competition is the left and right wing departments, however.

Jarrod Bowen desperately needs more competition for his place on the right side of attack. And Moyes must know that.

It seems as though the Scot is eyeing a move for someone who could really push Bowen for his starting place…

West Ham eyeing Viktor Tsygankov swoop

Jeunes Footeux claim that the 40-capped Ukraine international is firmly on the Hammers’ radar ahead of the January transfer window.

Tsygankov’s current deal with the Ukrainian side ends in the summer of 2023, so West Ham could try to strike a bargain deal for him in January.

The 24-year-old, like Bowen, is a left-footed right winger who is at his best when cutting in from the flank.

He can actually play out wide left or even in the number 10 position as well!

We think Viktor Tsygankov would be a great addition for West Ham United.

The 24-year-old has bagged 87 goals and 60 assists in 219 games for Dynamo Kyiv throughout his career to date (Transfermarkt).

The Ukrainian ace possesses really impressive technique and his direct playing style means that he should be ideally suited to the intense nature of the Premier League.

Total Football Analysis describe the Dinamo Kyiv ace as ‘sensational’.

If West Ham do end up signing Viktor Tsygankov in January, we think it would be a shrewd move from David Moyes.

The winger has the kind of ability that would undoubtedly make him a huge hit at the London Stadium.
