West Ham boss David Moyes says that he hopes next month’s transfer window will be “busy” for the Hammers, as they look to secure their Premier League status.
Joint-Chairman David Sullivan also hinted at an active window for the London club, suggesting that two or three new players will be brought into the club in January.
Despite the Hammers beating Chelsea and drawing with Arsenal in their last two games, the club are still in the relegation zone, something Moyes wants to change. He said;
I hope it is busy, the January window. In recent years, it has not been as busy as people had made it out to be. But it is not the easiest month (to do transfer business).
I would like to add to the squad if we can do. I think it is really important that we try and get players who we think can make a difference and can give us people who can more or less go straight into the team. But that is not the easiest thing to do.
Talking about the positive changes he has seen in his team, Moyes continued;
Definitely, anybody who beats Chelsea and anybody who gets a result against Arsenal, especially in the position we are in would see it as a real positive.
We have still got to climb the table, so we still have to win an awful lot more games. We can pat ourselves on the back for the performances and how well the players have done.
But overall, we still have a lot of games to go and we have got to win them.
West Ham’s next game sees them take on Stoke at the bet365 Stadium, who are just two points better off. The Hammers can climb out of the bottom three with a win over the Potters, however Mark Hughes has never lost to West Ham while at the helm of the Staffordshire club.
Aware of the challenging fixture to come, Moyes said;
Stoke is a tough place to play at any time. But, we are going their buoyant, we are in good form, we feel good and we are going to try and go there and get a result.
