West Ham United may be willing to sell up to seven first-team players in the January transfer window, according to reports. According to Claret and Hugh, a website with close ties to David Sullivan, West Ham manager David Moyes will have to sell before buying in the January transfer season.
The Hammers have made a strong start to the 2023/24 season, with all four of Moyes’ summer additions making an immediate impact in East London.
However, much more work remains to be done. There is still a lot of deadwood that has to be shipped out over the next few transfer windows. And there appear to be plenty of players on sale at the London Stadium.
Seven West Ham players could be available for sale
Claret and Hugh claim that Pablo Fornals, Danny Ings, Maxwel Cornet, Thilo Kehrer, Aaron Cresswell and Ben Johnson could all be moved on this winter. In addition to those six, a’massive bid for Aguerd could come in from Saudi Arabia,’ according to reports.
Obviously, West Ham will not be able to sell all seven of those players in January. However, I could see Fornals, Cornet, and Ings being moved on to free up finances for Moyes to mount a transfer market assault.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Said Benrahma was also sold. In my opinion, the forthcoming January transfer window will be a busy one for the Hammers, and claims that the club must sell in order to buy lend credence to that concept.
