David Moyes wants West Ham to sign Udinese winger Gerard Deulofeu
David Moyes reportedly has Udinese winger Gerard Deulofeu as one of his options on the wishlist for West Ham signings this summer.
According to Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo, he could come in as a replacement for Jarrod Bowen who appears likely to depart.
Calciomercato recently reported that the Hammers already made initial contact over a permanent move once the window opens.
Not worth the hassle
Deulofeu has had a go at two Premier League clubs but has failed to live up to his billing.
Technically, he seems appealing and eye-catching, but his end product is lacking.
Despite his 70 career goals, most of which have come in easier games and leagues, the Spaniard is not someone Moyes will be able to rely on.
With Bowen, the Scotsman knows what he’s signing up for and he can count on him to put in 7/10s in his most games.
But, one cannot say the same thing about Deulofeu and that’s why the Hammers must avoid him and reinvest the Bowen money in a better way if he does end up leaving.
These are tricky times for the Hammers as Declan Rice also appears to be on his way out and Moyes may be fighting a losing battle given how some of the clubs have the financial pull to prise them away.
In other West Ham news, the club want to sign a ‘Brilliant’ Chelsea player who will tick a major box for David Moyes in the summer.
