West Ham United will be busy in the January transfer window as they aim to recover what hasn’t been a good two months so far in the English Premier League, where they haven’t won any of their last seven games.
Placed 18th on the log but one point away from the safety zone. Their immediate aim is to move far away from the drop zone and possibly secure a mid table finish. That desire has made strengthening their attack in this January transfer window a priority.
So far they have scored just 15 goals this season only Wolverhampton Wanderers have scored less this season with 12 goals. It has put the pressure on manager David Moyes whose future has divided the management and fan base.
They still want to support the manager in the best way possible by bringing in more firepower in attack. Nigeria international forward Terem Moffi is the preferred option to rescue their shyness in front of goal.
Already British agent Willie McKay has on behalf of the English Premier League side submitted a bid of around €30m including bonus. An amount that Lorient are opened to accepting but the player’s desire is a big hindrance.
Reports in France suggest he isn’t keen on a move away from France, and has already given his words to fellow Ligue 1 side Nice. Personal terms has already been agreed but both teams are far away from reaching an agreement on the transfer fee.
The total worth of Nice’s bid is around €15m with another €3m in add ons. The offer was outrightly rejected by Lorient who are demanding an increase in the fee. Further discussion will take place in the coming weeks.
