West Ham United have endured a difficult run in the Premier League this season. Their situation hasn’t improved a lot since appointing Nuno Espírito Santo as Graham Potter’s successor in September.
The Hammers have three wins after 18 league matches and are 18th in the table, five points behind 17th placed Nottingham Forest.
West Ham are expected to be active in the winter market to improve chances of staying in the top flight. They have set their sights on Red Bull Salzburg’s Moussa Yeo.
That’s according to Africa Foot, who report the London club have made contact with Red Bull Salzburg for the 21-year-old.
It’s further claimed Nuno Espírito Santo’s side have tabled an €8m offer for the winger. They are working behind the scenes and want to sign him as soon as the January window opens.
Red Bull Salzburg brought the Malian to Europe when they signed him from Guidars FC in 2022.
He has a contract until 2027, but the report states the Austrian club aren’t against parting ways with him.
Africa Foot state Red Bull Salzburg are demanding a 10% sell-on clause. The negotiations are ongoing between the two clubs, likely about this clause.
With Yeo’s side in favour of a sale, West Ham have to convince him to secure his services next month.
Sporting are working on signing West Ham’s Luis Guilherme. Two days ago, Record stated the English club are looking for a permanent transfer and have set at €15-18m price. Yeo could take the Brazilian’s place in Nuno’s squad, at a lower cost.
