For the first time in a long time, west ham united Fans have reason to be optimistic.
certainly, Nuno Espírito Santo The team is five points from safety but has also won its last two games Premier League Bounce game.
In addition, although the away game against Tottenham Hotspur required a last-minute winning goal to take all three points, the Hammers were undoubtedly the better team in the home game against Sunderland.
Additionally, while some may think it’s too late, West Ham are working hard to strengthen their squad this month and it looks like they’ve found an ideal upgrade package Konstantinos Mavropanos.
West Ham target upgrade Mavropanos
West Ham have been busy with transfer business so far, with two signings already confirmed in Tati Castellanos and Pablo Felipe, as well as Fabrizio Romano in Adama Traore and here we go.
However, the Hammers also appear keen to improve their defensive options before the transfer window closes.
So far they have Linked to Eric et al. Deere, Axel DisasiCharlie Cresswell and Oscar Mingueza.
However, now one more name has been added to the target list and he could be the perfect upgrade for Mavropanos.
At least this is the basis The latest report from the British Daily Mailclaiming West Ham United are interested in Isaac Sheehan.
In fact, reports reveal that the Hammers have not only made contact with Atalanta over the player, but have also submitted an offer.
The report claims that the east Londoners have offered him a loan with an obligation to buy if the season continues.
It could still be a complicated move, but given Sheehan’s ability and experience, it’s one West Ham should go for, especially as he would be an upgrade over Mavropanos.
Why Hien is an upgraded version of Mavropanos
The first thing Sheen has over Mavropanos is experience.
For example, the Sweden international not only plays for a team that is at the top of Serie A, but he also plays a role in the team winning major trophies.
In the 2023/24 season, he made six appearances in the club’s triumphant Europa League campaign, starting all of them, and played the entirety of the final against the then undefeated Bayer Leverkusen.
By contrast, the former Stuttgart man’s Hammers side have been bottom of the Premier League for the past year and a half.
Now, if that’s not enough to convince you that the former Verona star will be a major upgrade to the Greece international, then perhaps comparing their statistics will.
Squawka, for example, ranks him high in almost every relevant metric, including passing accuracy, recoveries, duels won, goals scored, chances created, touches, etc., all calculated on a 90-point scale.
In other words, this 6-foot-3 monster is able and willing to do all the dirty work required of a center back, but is also a real asset to the playmaking.

Finally, while he has suffered some minor injuries, the Kista-born giant has a better fitness record than the former Arsenal man and, as they say, availability is the best ability.
For example, he has only missed 26 games for club and country so far in his career, compared to 86 for the Hammers ace, who is just over a year older.
Ultimately, from his experience to his underlying numbers and simple availability, it’s clear that Sheehan would be a monster upgrade to Mavropanos, and as such, West Ham should make every effort to sign him.
