Aaron Cresswell will be 33 before the end of the year and Arthur Masuaku clearly isn’t good enough to serve as his backup.

And it seems as though the Hammers boss has a very exciting plan up his sleeve…

West Ham eyeing ambitious Zinchenko swoop

Moyes wants to bring the 48-capped Ukraine international to the London Stadium from The Etihad in the summer according to Claret and Hugh.

It is suggested that the 25-year-old may not be handed a new contract with Guardiola keen to sign another left-back in the summer transfer window.

We think that Zinchenko would be an exceptional addition for West Ham.

The Ukraine international is a real talent. He has been described by Pep Guardiola as ‘absolutely brilliant’.

He possesses unbelievable technique for a left-back and that’s no surprise given the fact that he began his career as a winger.

Zinchenko is excellent in possession and poses a real threat going forward but he is a very solid defender at the same time.

The Ukrainian would undoubtedly take West Ham to another level. Quite how much Manchester City will demand for his signature remains to be seen though.
