“West Ham’s DESPERATE Hunt for the ULTIMATE Box-to-Box Midfield MAESTRO: Shocking 3-Man Shortlist REVEALED!”
According to a recent update from GiveMeSport, which appears to align closely with Sky Sports’ sources, West Ham United have drawn up a shortlist of three potential transfer targets ahead of the January window.
Manager Nuno Espírito Santo has reportedly submitted the names to the club’s hierarchy, making it clear to David Sullivan that he wants a dynamic box-to-box midfielder added to his squad.
This renewed focus on midfield reinforcements isn’t exactly groundbreaking — last season, Julen Lopetegui made a similar request when he was in charge, though the club failed to act decisively at the time.
Now, it seems West Ham have finally accepted what many fans have long pointed out: their midfield lacks energy, drive, and balance.
Among the players linked, Chelsea’s Andrey Santos has been mentioned, though it’s unclear why he would trade a promising European campaign for a relegation battle in east London.
A more attainable option could be Kobbie Mainoo, who reportedly doesn’t fit into Manchester United boss Rúben Amorim’s plans and is said to be eager for regular first-team football.
Completing the trio is Morten Frendrup, with West Ham now facing the challenge of convincing any of these targets to join their struggling side.
