# Hammers fans want the club to sign Aarons in January

Following Ryan Fredericks’ injury against Gillingham on Sunday night, Liverpool’s Nathaniel Clyne has been linked with a January move to West Ham United.

Club insider [ExWHUEmployee](https://twitter.com/ExWHUemployee/status/1213900737501118464?s=20) mentioned Clyne’s name as he confirmed the injury blow is likely to see West Ham pursue a new right-back this month.

Although Clyne would be an interesting signing, plenty of fans aren’t convinced an injury-prone player would fix the club’s injury problems…

> Twitter: @ExWHUemployee Isn’t Clyne currently injured? (@WesthamDan16)

> Twitter: @ExWHUemployee He was so poor when on loan last season, hopefully we can find someone as our main RB, to give some competition 🤞🏻 (@FutTradesman)

Amidst doubts about Clyne’s fitness, many supporters are vouching for the signing of Norwich City ace Max Aarons…

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Aarons, [formerly linked with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United](https://metro.co.uk/2019/07/17/tottenham-man-utd-crystal-palace-miss-max-aarons-signs-new-norwich-contract-10401052/), has been a regular for Norwich this season and is bound to be attracting interest.

Aged just 20, the right-back is touted to have a big future ahead of him and would provide a long-term option for the Hammers.

He’d add youth and quality in an ageing squad, but it’s unlikely the club will have the funds to recruit him this month.
