West Ham want to sign Noa Lang from Club Brugge
West Ham want to sign Club Brugge winger Noa Lang, according to a report from Voetbal Belgie.
They claim that the Hammers face competition from the likes of Leeds United, AC Milan and Arsenal, and the Belgian side have slapped a 40million [£33.8million] Euro price tag on Lang.
The 22-year-old has made 17 appearances this season in which he has scored four goals and provided five assists, and you would think he could be a good addition to the Irons.
Could the Hammers sign Lang?
Well, given that David Moyes has plenty of attacking options in his side already, it is unclear if they would make a move for Lang or not.
The 22-year-old is mainly a winger, and the Hammers do have plenty of wingers in their squad, so do they really need another one?
Lang is undoubtedly a fantastic player and could be a good signing for the Irons, but they probably don’t need him just yet.
The aim for January has to be a striker, really, so it will be intriguing to see what Moyes decides to do in the winter window.
It is interesting to see the Irons linked with Lang, but this is not a deal that they really need right now.
If he is still at Brugge come next summer, then that is when the Irons should make their move for Lang and add him to an already impressive array of options.
