West Ham United hope to make another bid for Hans Vanaken, David Moyes pushes for move
West Ham United are hoping to make another offer to sign Club Brugge midfielder Hans Vanaken, according to a report from Het Belang van Limburg.
The Belgian media reported on 27 August in their print edition (Sports, page 6), that David Moyes is internally pushing for the transfer to go through.
The Belgian club have rejected a couple of bids earlier this summer for Vanaken, but the Hammers have not given up on him as yet.
Get it done
Brugge have rejected two bids for the 30-year-old already from the Hammers.
According to a report from The Daily Mail, Vanaken is said to be desperate to make the move to the Premier League.
This could work in the favour of the Hammers, as the player specifically wants to join London Stadium to work under David Moyes going forward.
However, the two clubs are wide apart in their valuation of the players.
He has got a fantastic record in Belgium, and these are the players the club should be looking to bring in.
Already West Ham are close to signing Lucas Paqueta, who will become the eighth signing of the summer for the club.
Vanaken will add more depth and quality to the middle of the park. Most importantly, the Hammers can expect to get 100% from the player as he desires to play under Moyes.
West Ham have made a poor start to the season, and they desperately need to get their first win in the league.
