Moyes free to sign £50M man – West Ham target Premier League bound? – Pundit reacts to possible £35M signing

Here is a roundup of the top West Ham news and gossip from icfootballnews that we think you may have missed –

Portugal and Benfica ace Goncalo Ramos “will end up in the Premier League”, former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has told the likes of West Ham.

The January window has been open for a while now – But David Moyes has not really signed the players that he would have hoped too  – but there is still alot more time to get some deals done.

Ramos is a young man that has been catching the eye of the big teams over the past few weeks and is a player that earned huge praise at the World Cup for his performances when he replaced Cristiano Ronaldo.

Now – Eriksen expects Manchester United and West Ham to be looking at him – and has tipped the young man to make a move to the Premier League in the near future.

Speaking to OLBG, he said: “Goncalo Ramos is a fantastic player, it’s not easy to replace Cristiano Ronaldo like he did. He will end up in the Premier League like a lot of Portuguese players, he can adapt there.

“He’s a player destined for the Premier League because it’s the best league in the world and the best want to play there.”

West Ham made some big signings in the summer that did have big hopes for the season – but it has simply not worked out for David Moyes.

Gomes is a very good young striker that may have a bright future in the game – but at the end of the day – signing new players may not be enough for the club.

Something is not working and adding a few new players to the squad may not improve that.

Maybe a manager needs to come in before new signings?

En-Nesyri message sent

Gabby Agbonlahor has claimed a striker is not the “priority” for West Ham as they line-up a move for Sevilla star Youssef En-Nesyri.

According to recent reports onEstadio Deportivo, Sevilla are welcome to the idea of the 2022 FIFA World Cup star leaving the club in the January window, with En-Nesyri struggling for form with Sevilla this season despite the attacker’s incredible performances in Qatar this winter.

Valued at £30m, En-Nesyri scored the goal that sent Morocco into the World Cup semi-finals, – And now, West Ham are interested in signing the striker

West Ham find themselves in a relegation battle – and there has been alot of talk about whether or not David Moyes will get the sack if he cannot turn things around.

Agbonlahor told Football Insider: “I don’t think West Ham need to be buying players at the moment.

“They’re in a transition period at the moment. They’ve been in Europe two seasons in a row, but they’re not going to do it this season.

“What they’ve got in the door is enough to stay up. They can then look at the squad in the summer and get rid of the players who aren’t good enough.

“Players like Coufal, Dawson, Cresswell, Soucek – there are going to be decisions to make on all of those players.

“I just don’t think a striker should be a priority for them right now. Scamacca and Antonio are good enough to get them through to the end of the season.”

Agbonlahor is correct and adding another striker to the squad is not the priority for West Ham, so En-Nesyri is not the right kind of signing for the club right now.

But that doesnt hide the fact that he would be a player that could bring top level experience to the squad.

Phillips move to be made?

Alan Hutton has suggested Kalvin Phillips could quit Man City next season – with West Ham keen on a possible deal.

West Ham have a very good squad that is simply not putting in good enough performances this season – and that is why they are in a shock relegation battle.

That has led to speculation in the media that the Hammers are lining up a number of possible January signings – and Phillips is the latest name to be linked with a move to London Stadium.

At Leeds – Phillips established himself as one of the best holding midfielders in the Premier League – and that prompted Man City boss Pep Guardiola to take him to the Etihad.

However – the move has not quite worked out and he has struggled to make an impact -with a number of injuries keeping him on the sidelines more often that he would have hoped for.

He told Footballinsider:

“I think he will want to stay within himself.

“Man City is a big club, you are going to go for all the trophies. It has not quite worked out for him through injury. The overweight thing did not help him either, especially when the fans are singing it at him.

“It is not ideal but when he signed I did not think he was going to play week in week out. I think he maybe knew that. Probably in the next season or so if he is still not playing I think he will maybe look to get out.

“West Ham, even though they are struggling at this moment in time, are a good club.“

It is a shame to see that Phillips has flopped at Man City – but maybe a move to West Ham could reignite his career?
