Arsenal deal major transfer window blow to West Ham United
As the January transfer window heats up, both Arsenal and West Ham United are on the hunt for new signings. However, it appears that the Hammers are being outpaced by the Gunners in the race for potential additions to their squad.
West Ham manager David Moyes has been working hard to secure new talent, with the loan signing of Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City already in the bag. Rumors of deals for Armando Broja and Jota are also circulating.
One player on West Ham’s radar is Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee, but it seems Arsenal are now leading the charge to secure the 22-year-old’s signature.
The news comes as a major blow to West Ham, as Zirkzee is seen as an ideal fit for the team’s system at the London Stadium. With AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli publicly praising Zirkzee’s abilities, it’s clear that both clubs see the striker as a valuable addition to their squads.
Zirkzee’s strong performance this season, with nine goals and four assists in 23 games, has caught the attention of both Arsenal and West Ham. Standing at 6ft 4in, the Dutchman’s physicality, pace, and finishing skills make him an attractive prospect for any club in need of a center-forward.
If Arsenal secures Zirkzee’s signature in the January transfer window, Moyes may regret not making a move sooner for the striker, who has received high praise from opposing teams and is seen as a promising talent in the world of football.
