David Moyes wants John McGinn as first summer signing

According to the Evening Standard, David Moyes wants to sign £5m-rated Scottish midfielder John McGinn, if he is to stay as West Ham manager after this season.

When Moyes was appointed in November, it was surrounded by fear and worry from the West Ham faithful, after the Scottish manager failed in his last three managerial jobs.

However, Moyes has turned the fans around, with many class performances and results against the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham, as well as fellow relegation rivals Stoke, West Brom and Huddersfield.

Despite this amazing turn-around, there is still doubt whether if Moyes will stay in the job, even if The Hammers stay up this season, as many see it as a step in the wrong direction.

If Moyes is to stay, one of his first targets for the summer transfer window will be John McGinn, who plays for Hibernian and has scored six goals. He also has got the same amount of assists in 33 games this season.

West Ham have scouted the midfielder several times this season ahead of a move.
