Nayef Aguerd is off to AFCON with Morocco and could be gone until mid-February. Indeed he may have played his last game for the Hammers with reports he might be sold in January.
While Angelo Ogbonna is ageing like a fine Italian wine, this could be his last season with West Ham.
And captain Kurt Zouma has another knee injury.
So it is not surprising to see West Ham have been linked with moves for a plethora of defenders including Joe Worrall, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Edmond Tapsoba, Jonathan Tah and Piero Hincapie.
Well it seems the Hammers very much have their house in order.
Site claims centre-back signing choice made
Video shows Steidten and Moyes in deep conversation as a site claims the club’s centre-back signing choice has been made.
Behind the scenes video published by West Ham filmed at the Arsenal game shows Moyes in discussions with Steidten on the pitch at the Emirates.
The pair are now regularly seen conversing before games – which can only bode well for the window.
And it seems the pair are in agreement over which centre-back to sign in January.
New signing? Yes Tah
That’s if a new claim from Claret and Hugh is anything to go by. The site has close links to majority owner David Sullivan.
And they report that ‘West Ham have identified their Aguerd replacement’ in the shape of Bayer Leverkusen contract rebel Tah.
On Christmas Day we reported news from Germany that West Ham were targeting Tah in January.
Steidten knows the German international well from several years together at Leverkusen. And he reportedly has a £17m release clause in his contract.
At 6ft 5in, man mountain Tah has all the physical attributes to be a success in the Premier League.
