West Ham United is getting really close to signing a player from Arsenal for their team, and it looks like they’re making progress just in time for the January transfer window.
As the new year approaches, West Ham United is eager to enhance their attacking options. All eyes are on Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah as a potential addition to their squad. The rumor mill suggests that Arsenal might be willing to let him go for a fee of £40 million.
A recent report from Football Insider mentions that other London clubs, namely Crystal Palace and Brentford, are also eyeing Nketiah for a possible deal. At the moment, it’s unclear which team is ahead in the race to secure Nketiah’s services.
Arsenal, on the other hand, is looking to strengthen their team in January. However, due to their significant spending over the summer, which brought in players like Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber, and Declan Rice, they need to offload some players to make room for new additions. Eddie Nketiah might be one of the players on the move next month.
Now, let’s talk about how bringing in Eddie Nketiah could benefit West Ham United’s squad.
Nketiah is a strong and speedy center-forward, and he fits the profile of the kind of forward West Ham needs at the London Stadium. He shares many qualities with their current top striker, Michail Antonio, including speed, strength, and excellent ball-holding skills.
While Nketiah may not be the highest-scoring striker, neither is Antonio. In the current season, Antonio has scored two goals in 12 Premier League games, while Nketiah has netted five goals in the same competition.
David Moyes, West Ham’s manager, relies heavily on having a physical striker who can hold up the ball and create opportunities for teammates. This style of play allows the team’s wingers, such as Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen, to get into the opponents’ box and try to score goals. Bringing in Nketiah could potentially strengthen this aspect of West Ham United’s strategy.
