West Ham aims to address two crucial areas in the January transfer window – left-back positions and the striker position.
The Hammers find themselves in a challenging situation, particularly due to Michail Antonio’s recent long-term injury and the potential departure of Said Benrahma. Consequently, securing a reliable striker has become a top priority, potentially leading to Jarrod Bowen taking on a more prominent role in the striker position rather than his customary right-wing role.
As of the current season, Emerson has been the stalwart in the left-back position for West Ham, boasting 17 appearances, two assists, and contributing to a clean sheet. On the flip side, Aaron Cresswell has encountered a series of injuries at the start of this campaign, limiting his participation to just three matches and a total of 130 minutes on the field.
The Hammers’ strategic moves in the upcoming transfer window will undoubtedly be closely monitored by fans and pundits alike as they seek to bolster their squad for the challenges ahead.
