West Ham Eye Up Manchester United Forward and Ex-Premier League Star

Despite only having three matches in charge for the Hammers, Nuno Espírito Santo has already seen enough in the squad he’s been given and is aiming to secure three players in the upcoming January window.

However, not only are West Ham struggling financially, but history will also tell fans and managers that the club don’t tend to do business in the winter.

Albee the past, NES has determined that he is in dire need of a striker from January onwards, in which he’s identified both Joshua Zirkzee and Ivan Toney.

Both individuals are currently looking for game time to help bolster their chances of being selected for the World Cup 2026 campaign.

However, both deals have their drawbacks. Ivan Toney now finds himself as a 29-year-old in Saudi Arabia with no club willing to pay a significant fee for the Englishman, as come next summer, he’d be 30. But, if a cheap fee could be agreed, then the deal could certainly transpire into something.

On the other hand, Joshua Zirkzee offers being a younger striker who’s proved himself in other leagues, but it has not worked out for him at Manchester United. The primary problem with the Dutchman isn’t himself but rather the club.

History informs us on numerous occasions that doing deals with the Devils doesn’t always turn up easy, with many deals nearly being agreed between us and them, but all primarily falling through at the final hurdle, with minimal picky details left blowing up the deal and leaving both worse for wear.

Its more Sullivan spin. We are linked also with Mainoo who I think would be good, feels like another Jesse opportunity, Man U, not being played, England international etc etc.

If its mentioned in mainstream media it will have some legs, when the bloggers / YouTubers mention it its typically hype direct from BS.
