“We gave them Declan Rice last transfer, so they should also give us this player by January”- WestHam United Boss David Moyes reveals West Ham are closing in on transfer for €35M Arsenal brilliant star in January in compensation for Declan Rice whom they gave to Arsenal
West Ham United is on the verge of signing an Arsenal player, and it appears that they will do it just in time for the January transfer window.
West Ham United is ready to improve its attacking options as the new year approaches. Eddie Nketiah of Arsenal is being touted as a possible addition to their squad. According to reports, Arsenal may be willing to let him go for a cost of £40 million.
According to a recent Football Insider story, several London clubs, including Crystal Palace and Brentford, are interested in signing Nketiah. At the moment, it’s unknown which team is in the lead in the hunt to sign Nketiah.
Arsenal, on the other hand, want to bolster their squad in January. However, due to their considerable summer investment, which brought in players such as Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber, and Declan Rice, they must unload certain players to create place for new signings. Eddie Nketiah might be one of the players who go next month.
Let’s take a look at how bringing in Eddie Nketiah could help West Ham United’s squad.
Nketiah is a powerful and quick center-forward who fits the profile of the type of striker West Ham requires at the London Stadium. He is similar to their current top scorer, Michail Antonio, in many ways, including speed, strength, and exceptional ball-holding ability.
While Nketiah is not the most prolific scorer, neither is Antonio. Antonio has scored two goals in 12 Premier League appearances this season, while Nketiah has five in the same division.
West Ham manager David Moyes places a high value on having a powerful striker who can hold up the ball and create opportunities for teammates. This style of play allows the team’s wingers, such as Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen, to penetrate the opponents’ box and attempt to score goals. The addition of Nketiah could boost this component of West Ham United’s plan.
