Former Premier League striker Kevin Campbell has suggested Millwall winger Jed Wallace would be a ‘great signing’ for West Ham.
This comes after reputable club insider ExWHUemployee claimed the Hammers were still interested in the 27-year-old.
In the final 12 months of a contract at The Den, Wallace could be available on the cheap sooner rather than later.
Speaking to Football Insider, Campbell has tipped David Moyes to replicate another Championship signing.
Wallace is a solid Championship player. What David Moyes does is go for good, solid players who he can rely on. We have seen that with the signings of Bowen etc. That is really important for Moyes. He wants players who step up when the chips are down. He doesn’t want players who go missing when things start to go pear-shaped. Jed Wallace is a seasoned professional and I think he’d be a great signing for West Ham, just like Bowen.
In addition to Bowen’s arrival from Hull City, key squad members Craig Dawson, Said Benrahma and Darren Randolph have all be signed from second-tier sides during Moyes’ tenure.
So far this season Wallace has scored three and provided two assists in six Championship outings.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Valued at £6.3million (Transfermarkt), signing the Englishman either on the cheap or for nothing next summer would be a bargain deal.
Capable of operating across numerous attacking positions, Wallace certainly boasts the versatility Moyes likes to have at his disposal.
At 27, the ace may only be a relatively short-term project, but one certainly worth entertaining at the right price.
