West Ham boss Nuno Espírito Santo is said to be keen as mustard to get to January and reinforce his Hammers side.

It’s already become clear to West Ham’s new Portuguese head coach that his current squad lacks physicality and pace—two areas he’ll be desperate to address once the transfer window opens.

At the moment, we’re all playing a guessing game when it comes to transfer targets, with the club keeping their cards very close to their chest. However, late last night The Independent dropped the news that West Ham will make a move for Joshua Zirkzee in January.

The newspaper claims that Manchester United are reluctant to part with the Dutch striker, but a loan move could suit all parties—especially if Zirkzee continues to be overlooked by manager Rúben Amorim.

His goalscoring record since moving to England is, frankly, a bit of a shocker. But in fairness, he’s probably still better than what we currently have.

At 6ft 4 and with decent pace, he could offer West Ham exactly the sort of physical presence we so desperately lack up front.
