West Ham United: Adnan Januzaj wants to start should he make London Stadium switch
Adnan Januzaj wants to make an impact at West Ham United and won’t settle for being a squad player according to Bleacher Report journalist Dean Jones.
AS reported (19 July) that West Ham along with Everton are keen to bring the free agent back to the Premier League.
However, Jones believes that if Januzaj does make the move to the London Stadium, the 27-year-old will not be content being a squad player for the Hammers.
Jones told GIVEMESPORT on Wednesday (20 July): “They need depth and Januzaj is not coming to West Ham to be a squad player, he wants to make an impact.
“I was told that he expects movement on this deal this week but that could easily drag a bit because of all of the deals they are working on.”
Will he make an impact?
Will Januzaj realistically make an impact for the Hammers should he make a move back to England?
He seems like a player that has never been able to fulfil his potential after his early days at Manchester United.
Three goals in LaLiga in the 2021/22 season perhaps indicates that he may not be able to make much of an impact as a start for David Moyes’ side in the upcoming Premier League season.
It would make sense for the attacker to come in as a bit-part squad player for the Hammers as Moyes looks to add depth to his squad.
West Ham have far better options at their disposal in the attacking midfield positions than a 27-year-old free agent.
Moyes would be better off looking at players who have been making more of an impact in the lower half of the Premier League or top of the Championship.
The Belgium international will likely be asking for a generous wage and much like the Jesse Lingard wage demands is probably not deserving of what he will be asking for.
Another one Moyes should stay clear of.
