West Ham could spend a lot of money in the January transfer window to help Nuno Espirito Santo keep the Hammers in the Premier League.
The Hammers see themselves in somewhat of a relegation battle this season in the Premier League, with Nuno Espirito Santo brought in to try and keep West Ham in the league after a poor start to the season under Graham Potter.
There was a lot of criticism of the club in the summer as Potter wasn’t backed too much in the transfer market, and Nuno will hope they change their strategy in the January window and spend more to help improve his squad.
Hammers Headlines decided to put together a dream XI if the current West Ham transfer rumours are true…
West Ham get Cresswell deal over the line
GK – Alfonse Areola – It hasn’t been a great spell for the French keeper, but Nuno seems to prefer him to Mads Hermansen.
LB – El Hadji Malick Diouf – Diouf looks a good summer signing, he is a bright full back, especially in attacking areas.
CB – Charlie Cresswell, Toulouse – West Ham almost managed to get a £13m deal over the line for Cresswell in the summer, but he opted to stay at Toulouse. They could try for the 23-year-old again.
CB – Max Kilman – Kilman will hope to improve under Nuno, who he previously played under during his time at Wolves.
RB – Aaron Wan-Bissaka – Wan-Bissaka has been a solid signing for West Ham, and the former Man United star will continue to start for the Hammers.
Nottingham Forest man added in midfield
LM – Crysencio Summerville – Summerville has all the potential to become a star replacement for Mohammed Kudus.
CM – Ibrahim Sangare, Nottingham Forest – Reports have said that Sangare could follow Nuno to join West Ham this January.
CM – Lucas Paqueta – Assuming that the Brazilian stays at West Ham, he has to start each and every week, he’s too good not to.
RM – Jarrod Bowen – Much like Paqueta, Bowen is a must start for Nuno, as the England international is a huge difference maker.
Real Madrid wonderkid joins the Hammers’ attack
ST – Endrick, Real Madrid – According to recent reports, West Ham are the frontrunners to land the Brazilian wonderkid on loan in January.
ST – Joshua Zirkzee, Man United – The Hammers have also been linked to signing Man United striker Zirkzee, who reportedly wants to leave Old Trafford.
