West Ham had initially been looking to make additions during the winter transfer window, but now the team is in desperation to bring in reinforcements. Although Jarrod Bowen’s ankle injury is not as severe as first thought, Lucas Paqueta is facing an extended period on the sidelines.
With Michail Antonio already injured and Mohammed Kudus at the Africa Cup of Nations, West Ham’s need for new players has become even more urgent and the club is actively exploring their options.
A failed attempt to acquire Genoa’s Albert Gudmundsson has not deterred their efforts, and they also have strong interest in Sunderland’s Jack Clarke and Ajax’s Steven Bergwijn, though no formal offers have been made.
Additionally, Said Benrahma, Danny Ings, and Pablo Fornals are being made available for sale as the club looks to generate funds. Swift action is a priority for West Ham in order to strengthen manager David Moyes’ position and maintain their strong performance from the first half of the season.
