With West Ham in amongst the Premier League’s top six at present, the last thing that the club need is internal wrangling over a potential new signing.
David Moyes has ensured that the Irons have continued on their upward trajectory after winning the Europa Conference League last season, with the club also well placed in the Europa League.
One or two results and performances aside, the East Londoners have been pleasing on the eye and have delivered the necessary wins to keep the London Stadium faithful happy.
That said, it’s clear that they are still a player or two short of really pushing on and making the 2023/24 campaign another vintage one.
To that end, it’s understood that the club are interested in the services of Ajax captain and former Tottenham man, Steven Bergwijn.
However, it seems that Moyes is digging his heels in over any deal.
According to Football Insider‘s Pete O’Rourke, speaking on the outlet’s Inside Track podcast, the Scot isn’t sure about the £15m-rated winger, who already has eight goals and four assists to his name in a hugely underperforming Ajax squad.
Like some of the deals that the Hammers did in the summer, it’s believed that sporting director, Tim Steidten, is the one driving negotiations.
Whilst that will clearly put Moyes’ nose out of joint, it’s hard to argue with Steidten’s track record, given it’s believed he was behind the signings of Edson Alvarez and Mo Kudus, both of whom have settled brilliantly at the club.
Back off Moyes and let Stiedten do his job!
I would prefer gimenez from Feyenoord for £35-40m younger better resale and better investment
Dithering Dave at it again. He’s had opportunities to sign some great players but turned his back on them. West Ham need a new Manager he is holding our club back
Yeah he dithered us to our first cup in 43 years, a Europa League semi final and a 7th and 6th place finish in the Prem – we’re so used to that.
This is the reason Moyes should go. HD always wants to buy Man U cast offs or Premier league players at inflated prices! We don’t have money to waste. Get rid of him and appoint a forward thinking manager more in line with Stiedten’s philosophy.
Moyes and co need to stop the chat about this one and that one and start bringing new players that the club need it’s the same old story by the time they get there act together they have missed out and that will prove costly with us slipping down the league and out of the Europa League we need to get players in as a matter of urgency
