West Ham United legend Trevor Sinclair has made a bold prediction about his old club following the 2-1 win at Leeds United.
Legendary West Ham striker tells Moyes where he is going wrong with ‘Greek god’ Haller
West Ham made it four wins from their last five games with a comeback victory at Elland Road.
Goals from Tomas Soucek and Angelo Ogbonna turned the game around.
Four wins in five pushes Hammers back up to fifth
But in truth – like against Manchester United – West Ham should have been out of sight, squandering a glut of chances.
Sebastien Haller flopped again. He was at fault for Leeds’s goal and missed a hat-trick of good chances of his own.
The win moves West Ham back up to fifth in the Premier League. And with the fixtures this weekend the lowest the Hammers will realistically fall is seventh.
With the positive goal difference to boot, it is West Ham’s best start to a season for five years.
The Hammers have just one point less than at the same stage of the 2015/16 Farewell Boleyn season. They went on to record their best ever Premier League points haul that year and agonisingly missed out on a Champions League spot by just four points.
Tricky Trev makes bold West Ham prediction with a message to the owners
Now Hammers legend tricky Trevor Sinclair has made a bold prediction about where David Moyes’s side can finish. But it all hinges on owners David Sullivan and David Gold freeing up funds for Moyes to sign striker target Josh King in January.
“Massive win for the Hammers tonight, well played chaps,” Sinclair wrote on Twitter after the win.
“Sign Josh King & finish amongst the elite this season.”
How West Ham fans would love that. Indeed how they deserve it too.
Exciting times ahead for high-flying Hammers if Sullivan and Gold do their bit
Another massive bonus of the strong season the Hammers are enjoying is that Moyes can go for it in the FA Cup too.
Relegation is not on the agenda this season.
So Moyes can really go all out in a bid to win West Ham’s first major trophy for what will be 41 years.
Sinclair is right to put pressure on Sullivan and Gold ahead of the window.
West Ham tried but failed to sign King in the summer window (talkSPORT).
And the likes of insiders Claret & Hugh claim King is still Moyes’s priority target for January.
If the Hammers can avoid injuries to key players and bring the Norwegian striker in then it is exciting times ahead for West Ham fans.
