West Ham considering shock loan move for Premier League winger

West Ham are pursuing a loan deal for Manchester United’s Adnan Januzaj, according to Talksport.

Januzaj saw little action in Louis Van Gaal’s first season at Old Trafford, but the wily Dutch boss has shown faith in the 20-year-old by starting him in United’s last four matches.

Januzaj repaid the faith shown in him by scoring the winner against Aston Villa but with the Red Devils still in the market for attacking reinforcements, the Belgian’s position in the team is under threat.

Slaven Bilic hasn’t finished shaping his squad for his inaugural season as West Ham boss and is keen to bring Januzaj’s attacking prowess and versatility to Upton Park.

The attacking midfielder can play on both wings and behind the striker, which is where Van Gaal has utilised him in the embryonic stages of the season.

The Hammers aren’t the only potential suitors for the youngster, Everton are also reported to be interested as Roberto Martinez looks for his perfect no.10, while Serie A winners and Champions League finalists Juventus are also said to be in the frame.

matchday.
