SHOCKING EXCLUSIVE: West Ham’s £35M Serie A BEHEMOTH Now BEGGING to Join After Crystal Palace’s BRUTAL SNUB – You Won’t Believe the Odds!

West Ham United manager Nuno Espirito Santo is keen to bolster his squad in the January transfer window, with a striker and a dynamic midfielder among his top priorities.

The Portuguese coach reportedly wants a mobile, athletic forward better suited to the Premier League’s pace than the injury-hit Niclas Füllkrug, while Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo has been offered a guaranteed starting spot should he join.

PSV Eindhoven’s in-form Ismael Saibari is also on West Ham’s radar.

However, financial constraints may limit the Hammers’ ability to recruit across multiple positions, including the defence.

Inter Milan centre-back Yann Aurel Bisseck remains strongly linked, though a deal appears unlikely due to the Italian club’s £35million valuation and reluctance to sanction a loan move.

Crystal Palace previously had a £28million bid rejected, and reports suggest Bisseck also turned down their advances — making a West Ham move doubtful given their relegation concerns.

Meanwhile, West Ham have explored a potential loan for Real Madrid’s young forward Endrick, but his £100,000-per-week wages and high loan fee make the deal unrealistic.

Spain Under-21 striker Gonzalo Garcia, who has overtaken Endrick in Xabi Alonso’s pecking order, is another player admired at the London Stadium.

In defence, Lille’s Brazilian centre-half Alexsandro has emerged as Nuno’s preferred target, though the 25-year-old is hesitant to move mid-season while vying for a place in Carlo Ancelotti’s World Cup squad.

West Ham have also dismissed reports linking Wolves captain Max Kilman with a switch to Selhurst Park.

Additionally, Barcelona youngster Pedro “Dro” Fernandez, compared to Andres Iniesta, is seen as a long-term, high-potential target.
