- Much has been written about David Moyes’s tenure at West Ham, but the truth is that he has guided the team to the semifinals of the Europa League, won their first trophy of any kind in 43 years, placed the majority of their first-team players in Premier League top divisions, and prepared them for more European success this year.
It is irrelevant whether Tim Steidten had a bigger influence on the signings of Mo Kudus, Edson Alvarez, and other players because it is up to the Scot to bring them all together to form a squad deserving of the club’s moniker.
Presently occupying the sixth spot in the English premier league, the Hammers have every opportunity to challenge for Champions League spots by the conclusion of the season if they can make wise purchases during the current transfer window.
The January transfer window ends in just over a week, so the East Londoners won’t have much time to finalize any moves. This is similar to the summer window, when West Ham’s new additions were all acquired in the closing stages.
- If Kalvin Phillips, who West Ham is reportedly in talks with according to the Daily Mail, performs as well as previous summer additions, the team will have another diamond on their hands.
It’s a strategy that should work for everyone because the £45 million man (Sky Sports) has to revitalize his career before the European Championship.
