A former Arsenal and Liverpool star is firmly on the West Ham United transfer radar it seems.
West Ham are expect to be very busy in the January transfer window, and Graham Potter is said to be eyeing up a move to bring someone who starred for both Arsenal and Liverpool back to the Premier League.
The Hammers fans are praying for some new arrivals at the London Stadium before Monday’s deadline.
With Kyle Macaulay now in charge of player recruitment at West Ham, our business is now expected to take off.
Potter needs to strengthen his ranks at West Ham as a matter of urgency.
The lies of Carney Chukwuemeka, Evan Ferguson ands Brain Brobbey are all said to be on his radar.
However, the latest name to be linked with the Hammers is underwhelming to say the least.
West Ham make contact to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Besiktas midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain appears to be on the Hammers’ radar.
Sozcu claim that West Ham have made contact with the Turkish giants about potentially signing the 31-year-old on a loan deal until the end of the season.
I have to admit, I think this would be a disastrous move for the Hammers.
Oxlade-Chamberlain is incredibly injury prone for a start, and has missed a staggering 698 days though injury since the start of the 2017/18 season (Transfermarkt).
At 31, his all-round fitness definitely isn’t going to improve, if anything it will get worse.
On his day, Oxlade-Chamberlain was a real powerhouse of a player, and he won the Premier League title and the Champions League with Liverpool.
West Ham need to be focusing all of our attention on bringing in a top-class striker and a powerful central midfielder before the January transfer window slams shut.
Oxlade-Chamberlain shouldn’t even be on our radar in my opinion – he’d be a terrible, terrible signing for us.
