Hammers may sell top youngsters for funds in January

According to a report in the Mirror, West Ham are ready to sell a handful of promising youngsters, in order to raise funds for new boss David Moyes in January.

New boss Moyes will want to bring in new players in the January window, and with the club just about keeping their heads above the relegation zone for the time being, the Hammers may be thinking of shifting some youth to raise the money.

Declan Rice, 18, has already made eight first team appearances, with a number of clubs keeping tabs on his situation, Arsenal being one of them.

Both Josh Cullen, 21, and Reece Burke are on loan at Bolton, with Reece Oxford, 18, on loan at Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach, with the Hammers potentially contemplating offloading the trio permanently to raise funds for January.

If the Hammers do decide to cash in on their potential future stars, it will be a massive risk, but one that may pay off in the short term.
