West Ham United: Noa Lang move could cast doubt over Said Benrahma future
West Ham United have been linked with a move for Club Brugge winger Noa Lang – and that could cast some doubt over Said Benrahma’s future.
Calciomercato reported (2 October) that West Ham are eying a move for the 23-year-old, who has previously been linked to Leeds United.
The exciting winger has been subject to plenty of rumours over recent seasons and sees his current deal at the Jupiler League club come to an end in the summer of 2025.
It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Hammers go in for the winger in January, with Moyes keen to add another attacking midfielder to his ranks.
However, if Lang did join the club, it wouldn’t be a shock to see one or two players leave the London Stadium. Benrahma is a player who can count himself quite unlucky to be out of the team at the moment after a good start to the season.
He was one of the Hammers’ brightest sparks in the early part of the campaign but has been a substitute for four games on the spin. He’s a talented player who should be given more of a chance, but it is quite clear that Moyes just doesn’t fancy him and is unlikely to entrust him in the long run.
Lang would be an expensive addition for Moyes to make and if he does move to the London Stadium, the West Ham boss would have to make room in terms of wages.
As much as West Ham fans won’t like it, Moyes just isn’t a fan of the Algerian regardless of his immense talent. It will certainly be interesting to see how his future plays out over January.
Manuel Lanzini is another player who has been linked with an exit and could well see his day’s number should another attacking midfielder join the club.
