# West Ham fans split on links with late swoop for Idrissa Gueye

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/02/01/these-west-ham-fans-want-to-see-diego-costa-signed/) have been linked with what would at this stage in proceedings would be a very late swoop for PSG midfielder [Idrissa Gueye](https://readwestham.com/2021/02/01/report-west-ham-make-late-bid-to-sign-idrissa-gueye/).

The former Everton man has been of interest to a[host of Premier League clubs](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/matty-longstaff-bid-idrissa-gueye-19741315) but it is the Hammers who could land the 31-year-old in the final hours of the transfer window.

With a [proven track record in England](https://www.premierleague.com/players/12582/Idrissa-Gueye/stats)from his time on Merseyside, you may have suspected that the general consensus amongst Irons fans was one of welcoming the possible move with open arms.

However, with a striker still very much[top of the wishlist](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-transfer-news-david-moyes-striker-b918102.html), the possibility of signing an out and out defensive midfielder with [barely any career goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/idrissa-gueye/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/126665) hasn’t captured the imagination as it might’ve in normal circumstances.
