# Virals: West Ham target Aaron Ramsey ‘looking for a new challenge’

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/11/10/darren-gough-calls-for-january-spending-spree-at-west-ham/) have been heavily linked with a surprise move for Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey in recent months.

The 30-year-old Welshman is out of favour in Italy and the Hammers have previously been [named among the suitors](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/west-ham-everton-battle-aaron-ramsey-juventus-chaos-transfer) to bring the ace back to England.

Still a firm favourite for the Wales national team, Ramsey has [plenty to offer](https://www.sofascore.com/player/aaron-ramsey/23571) at the top level and is believed to be seeking regular match action.

According to reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1457919297041403906?s=21), the ex-Arsenal man is open to a move away from Turin.

A recent report from [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/caos-ramsey-tra-accuse-e-uno-stipendio-insostenibile-la-juve-cer-68986) has claimed that the Irons made contact over a move for the [69-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aaron-ramsey/nationalmannschaft/spieler/50057/verein_id/3864) star.

This season Ramsey, who was recently described as [‘world-class’](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9703595/Joe-Allen-hails-Gareth-Bale-Aaron-Ramsey-claims-Wales-team-mates-answered-critics.html) by Joe Allen, has made just [five appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aaron-ramsey/leistungsdaten/spieler/50057) across all competitions.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

At full strength, the midfield department is relatively [well-stocked](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad) at the London Stadium.

David Moyes has been able to rotate between [Declan Rice](https://readwestham.com/2021/11/10/trevor-sinclair-lauds-wonderful-west-ham-star-declan-rice/), Mark Noble, Tomas Soucek and Alex Kral across the competitions so far.

However, outside of Manuel Lanzini, the Hammers do lack a truly [attack-minded option](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/26820/Show/Aaron-Ramsey) and Ramsey would provide an alternative in east London.

Valued at £9million ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aaron-ramsey/marktwertverlauf/spieler/50057)), at the right price and wages, signing Ramsey could be a shrewd deal to strengthen Moyes’ ranks.
