West Ham are “very serious” about signing one club’s £15 million star who could end up making a “very, very good” move to east London, according to pundit Carlton Palmer.
Winless in 2024, the Hammers fanbase is growing increasingly impatient with Moyes despite them winning the UEFA Europa Conference League last May and qualifying for Europe in each of his full campaigns.
While the aforementioned is true, West Ham also flirted with relegation to the Championship last term, and there have been some complaints over Moyes’ dogmatic style of play – which isn’t exactly easy on the eye.
Supporters were seen holding “Moyes out” banners during their 2-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, and it is believed West Ham are looking at alternative managers, should results get any worse.
It will be interesting to see exactly who is in the West Ham dugout this summer, and who the club could bring in to back him.
Indeed, technical director Tim Steidten will need to turn his attention to the transfer market once Moyes’ future is resolved, and pundit Palmer says West Ham really want to sign Middlesbrough starlet Hayden Hackney.
The Englishman, who’s made 21 second-tier appearances for Boro this season, could end up costing them around £15 million.
“West Ham, amongst other Premier League clubs, are very serious about signing Middlesbrough’s young star Hayden Hackney,” Palmer told Football League World.
“Hayden’s been blighted by injury this season, which has hampered his season somewhat. But he has done very, very well in now being selected for the England U21s.
