Following the Arsenal victory, David Moyes gave a candid interview in which he outlined West Ham’s ambitions for the January transfer window.
With their third consecutive Premier League victory—this time in the Declan Rice derby against Arsenal—West Ham finished 2023 on a colossal high.
For the Hammers, it was their 32nd win of a remarkable season and their third consecutive clean sheet.
That was incredibly unlikely given that West Ham was without both Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd in the middle of defense, and Lucas Paqueta was sidelined with a knee injury sustained during the warm-up.
Moyes outlines plans for the January transfer window.
It arrives at the worst possible time, as Mohammed Kudus and Aguerd are likely to be gone until the middle of February for the AFCON.
Maxwel Cornet and Said Benrahma might potentially join them.
Hammers News received confirmation from a top source inside West Ham that the team plans to be active during the January transfer window.
In addition, it is necessary to release fringe players in order to clear roster space and adhere to FFP regulations.
Following West Ham’s victory over Arsenal, David Moyes candidly discussed the team’s objectives for the January transfer window.
“There’s not a lot of money.”
Even if it’s just Aguerd and Kudus leaving, the Hammers manager believes that injuries and AFCON exits could force West Ham to make additions.
While acknowledging he doesn’t have “a big lot of cash” to spend, Moyes remains adamant that he will be seeking to accomplish precisely that.
“Look, injuries will always have an impact on what we do in the window,” Moyes stated during a Prime Video Sport interview on Amazon Prime Video.
We don’t seem to have a lot of money on hand that we could use to sign a lot of players.
It’s never an easy window, to be honest. I’m sure we’ll try to add to it, but first we need to see how Kurt is doing and how the injuries are.
“It will be a huge loss for us with Mo heading to the African Nations as well; he’s been such an influence on the team. We have a few boys away at the African (Cup of) Nations.”
