West Ham United chiefs ‘looking everywhere’ as January transfer news emerges at the London Stadium
West Ham have been forced to enter the January transfer market in search of new signings after suffering several injury blows, and are looking everywhere according to Claret & Hugh.
The West Ham news outlet reported on 9 January that their club source has told them injuries to Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta and Mohammed Kudus have forced their hand in the transfer window.
However, it is also shared that they are not close to any January deals as things stand, despite David Moyes, David Sullivan and Tim Steidten looking everywhere.
Things will have to get moving soon
While it’s understandable that nothing is imminent after nine days of the transfer window, the update that West Ham has been forced into action by several key injuries means they may have to pick up the pace in terms of getting deals over the line.
We are now into the second week of the January transfer window and still, nothing has happened at the London Stadium, and nothing is close to happening. This will be another source of frustration for the fans.
With the transfer team of Moyes, Sullivan and Steidten looking everywhere for new deals, it feels like only a matter of time until some serious transfer news emerges in East London, with a new-found sense of urgency given the injury situation.
The expectations for the transfer window had initially been low, although there was hope of an incoming centre-forward given the injury to Michail Antonio and the lack of backup options, but fresh injuries now mean the Hammers will need more.
In other West Ham news, yet another injury update has emerged.
