west ham united Wolves are pushing to sign a “skilled” former Manchester United player, according to a report this week.
Nuno Espiritu SantoThe team is one of the busiest in January Premier League The Hammers are still slowing down as the club seek new signings to tackle relegation issues.
West Ham United recently confirmed they have signed Adama Traore from Fulham on a short-term deal.
Nuno has now officially reunited with his former Molineux star, who spent the best years of his career under the Portuguese’s tutelage, with West Ham hoping the pair can enjoy the same productive relationship in east London.
Traore played 41 times for Fulham last season, scoring 2 goals and providing 9 assists. He is one of the most devastating dribblers in England under Nuno Wolves.
The Spaniard joins Tati Castellanos, Pablo Felipe and Kemar Lamadrid on West Ham’s list of mid-season attacking reinforcements, but fans will be relieved to hear the club also plan to strengthen their porous defence.
West Ham United are currently in advanced talks to sign Axel Disasi on loan from Chelsea, with reliable Fabrizio Romano reporting that the deal is in the “final stages”.
Nuno’s side currently have the worst goalscoring record in England’s top flight, and their fragile defense has been an Achilles’ heel all season.
Having said that, West Ham remain alert to opportunities to bring in more firepower, Former WHU employee They have reportedly held some discussions with free agent Raheem Sterling over a potential move.
Sterling isn’t the only attacker to be snatched up so late in the window, either.
In fact, according to journalist Graeme Bailey, representatives have already proposed the Marseille playmaker Angel Gomez Heading to the London Stadium.
Wolves push to sign former Manchester United ace, West Ham make offer for Angel Gomez
The former Manchester United ace joined Roberto De Zerbi’s side on a free transfer from Lille last summer and has since primarily played as a right winger or centre-forward under the Italian.
The versatile Gomez can also play as a traditional central midfielder. Wolves open talks on Gomez trade earlier this week.
Bailey reports Wolves are working on signing the England international, but adds West Ham have been contacted over a possible late-window deal for Gomez through intermediaries.
As well as West Ham, Newcastle United, Everton, Brighton, Fulham, Sunderland and an ambitious Championship side are also said to be aware of Gomez’s availability.
The player himself is open to returning home as he battles for a place in Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad after serving as interim Three Lions boss. Lee Carsley In 2024, Gomez received widespread praise.
“Angel is different from the players we have now in that he can play deeper but play like a No. 10,” Carsley said.
“He’s very skilled, the way he catches the ball, the way he controls the game.”
The 25-year-old made 134 appearances for Lille before moving to Marseille, contributing 10 goals and 19 assists, and there’s every reason to believe his versatility could be very useful to West Ham if the price is right.
The departures of Lucas Paqueta, Guido Rodriguez, Andy Owen and James Ward-Prowse have left Nuno’s midfield pretty short, so Gomez could be a very good option if they can hijack Wolves.
