West Ham are still focusing on finding a new left-winger in the current transfer window, and ExWHUEmployee has given an update on the situation. The club’s success in the first half of the season has been affected by injuries and absences, so they are hoping to strengthen the team for the second half of the campaign.
They have already agreed to loan Thilo Kehrer to Monaco and are looking at other potential departures, including Said Benrahma. Ex has provided updates on potential reinforcements and highlighted the importance of home-grown players in their decision making.
Ex has revealed that the priority is still a left-winger, with a focus on finding a home-grown player. Jack Clarke of Sunderland has been identified as a target, given his impressive performance in the Championship. There are also discussions about potentially removing sell-on percentages from previous deals to bring down the overall cost.
Ex has also mentioned a potential move for Arsenal’s Reiss Nelson, as well as their interest in Brazilian wonder kid Savio from Girona. However, it’s unclear how likely these moves are due to fierce competition for their signatures.
In terms of departures, Said Benrahma and Pablo Fornals could be leaving the club, with interest from Lyon, Marseille, and Saudi clubs for Benrahma and Sevilla for Fornals. On a positive note, Calum Marshall is being promoted to the senior squad and will sign a new deal with the club, providing another option for manager David Moyes.
