Massive red flag emerges in West Ham’s pursuit of Endrick
West Ham are already preparing for the January transfer window after their rotten start to the season.
The Hammers currently find themselves in the relegation zone with West Ham seemingly in a relegation battle this season.
Therefore, signings are needed to get out of this mess, with West Ham recently being linked with a loan move for Endrick.
Real Madrid’s upcoming striker is seen as one of the best talents in the world and is already a Brazil international.
However, West Ham could be making a mistake if they pursue the signing of the attacker.
Endrick has a concerning recent injury record
While the signing of Endrick could gift West Ham multiple commercial benefits, Nuno Espirito Santo is begging for quality assets that can make a difference.
On the face of it, the 19-year-old would provide this, being a regular for Real Madrid last season, and scoring seven goals.
However, in recent months, it has been a different story.
- Endrick joined Real Madrid in 2024
- The Brazilian quickly established himself in the first team despite his age
- However, this season, he is yet to make an appearance
Since May, Endrick has had trouble with injuries, which saw him miss the Club World Cup and the start of the current season.
Issues with his hamstring and thigh have been the root of this problem, with the attacker yet to make an appearance since recovering.
Therefore, this is already a massive red flag for West Ham, as they could end up signing a player who isn’t match sharp and has struggled with injuries throughout recent months.
If the Hammers want to get out of this mess, they cannot be taking these risks and must splash the cash on proven attackers who will guide them to safety.
West Ham need to look at Premier League-proven strikers
West Ham are in this mess because they have taken risks in the transfer market.
Too many times, they have signed players hoping they would become the next big thing.
Now, it has come back to haunt them, and the only way they can correct it is by signing proven players.
If they can get a striker who usually hits 12 plus goals in the Premier League, there is no doubt that they can stay up.
