Midfielder Jesse Lingard remains the main goal of David Moyes’ coaching team before the summer transfer window closes. What other changes can Tomáš Souček and Vladimír Coufal expect in the cabin?
After last year’s great season, fans of hammerheads were looking forward to the new year, which started last weekend. However, there is still embarrassment in East London over the development of the summer transfer window so far.
The hammers strengthened in the goal, they brought in the experienced Alphonse Aerol from PSG, otherwise there is nothing, nothing here. Apart from exercising the option on Craig Dawson, they have not added any new staff, and the highly competitive Premier League often does not forgive.
In addition, Felipe Anderson (guest in Porto last year) and Fabian Balbuena said goodbye to the cabin. However, only a small amount of these departures arrived at the box office. For Anderson’s departure to Lazio, the Hammers collected about 3 million euros (76 million crowns), Balbuena went to Dynamo Moscow for free.
The realization team focuses on Jesse Lingard, who in the spring part of last season repaid Moyes for the trust of nine goals.
“It’s actually a public secret that we want to bring Lingard,” Moyes’s assistant Stuart Pearce told talkSPORT this week. Although Coach Hammers strictly avoids commenting on reinforcements, he called his assistant’s words apt.
After Lingard’s career in Manchester got stuck, the 28-year-old Englishman revived in the spring thanks to a visit to West Ham. If he doesn’t fit in the basic lineup in the Red Devils team, he may leave again.
“It’s not about me now. You have to ask Manchester United because Jesse Lingard belongs to them. It was great to give him a chance and we’re really glad he was here. There is nothing to discuss now, “Moyes added.
Otherwise, it is still a carousel of hope and disappointment. Grumpy fans had high hopes for behind-the-scenes information, catching every name, every hint. However, no famous name has arrived at London Stadium yet.
Moyes’s team has just over a week to bring someone. And he met the expectations of hungry fans.
After Balbuena left, he would need to reinforce the center of defense. Courtship with Nikola Milenkovič has failed, but the Hammers are still thinking about the Croatian Duje Caleta-Car from Olympique Marseille and probing the situation around Kurt Zouma from Chelsea.
The second very burning post is an attack. Michail Antonio is reliable, but at the same time he is practically the only purebred striker in the team. Neither Tammy Abraham nor Danny Ings, rumored to be joining the team, was able to bring West Ham.
Moyes is now reportedly headed for Brelel Embola from Mönchengladbach, who shone on the Euro in a Swiss jersey. If West Ham managed to get the defender, midfielder and forward into the starting lineup, he could still be one of the winners of the transfer window. But time is running out.
