Sky Sports has delivered a 4-player West Ham transfer update and touted 2 signings for the January transfer window.
West Ham technical director Tim Steidten and manager David Moyes are going to be very busy in the January transfer window.
That’s if a new report from Sky Sports is to be believed.
The Hammers must move several fringe players out in order to free up space for new arrivals.
Not only in the squad but on the wage bill, which is at the maximum allowed FFP limit against turnover.
Lack of depth exposed
West Ham’s lack of quality in depth has been evident when stretched in recent weeks.
With key players missing, ill and rested Moyes’ side were thumped 5-0 at Fulham and 5-1 at Liverpool. The Hammers were also extremely poor without their top stars in the 0-0 draw with Brighton.
With the window open, though, the Irons are preparing to make the most of the opportunity to do something about it according to a new report.
Sky Sports has delivered a 4-player West Ham transfer update and touts 2 signings.
Sky Sports’ 4-player West Ham transfer update
The report states that Moyes is happy with his squad.
But it is claimed that three or four players could leave and be replaced by two – with a centre-back and wide forward the prime targets.
It is claimed Thilo Kehrer – who will complete a move to Monaco imminently – Nayef Aguerd, and either Said Benrahma or Maxwel Cornet could be sold.
But only if West Ham can bring in a quality defender and attacker.
Report touts 2 signings
“West Ham have done superbly of late and David Moyes is happy with his squad but some players could leave that would need replacing,” Sky Sports state.
“AS Monaco are in advanced talks to sign West Ham United defender Thilo Kehrer on loan until the end of the season…
“There is also an unnamed Saudi Pro League club interested in signing Hammers defender Nayef Aguerd but West Ham will only consider allowing him to leave if they can bring in a replacement…
“Al Ittihad tried to sign Aguerd in the summer. He has not featured in any of West Ham’s last three games due to illness.
“West Ham are also in the market to bring in a wide forward player this month and – if they can recruit someone – they may allow Said Benrahma or Maxwel Cornet to leave.”
