West Ham United have found it difficult to get positive results in their favour so far in the Premier League campaign and have lost both their matches in the campaign against Manchester United and Southampton in consecutive matchups. The Hammers are looking forward to turning the tables by winning the forthcoming matches and are willing to make the most of the remaining days in the transfer market, so as to bring in a new midfielder to stabilise their team.
The Hammers boss Slaven Bilic has been eyeing the Sunderland midfielder Didier Ndong and is ready to make a bid for him in the following days. He is well aware of the fact that the player can be a good inclusion to his side and can help them make up the lost ground in the middle of the pitch, which is the need of the hour for the Croatian mastermind.
However, Sunderland are not willing to let go of their influential midfielder in the current situation and will look to fend off any interest from any club whether it is from the Championship or the Premier League but might find it quite difficult in case a club like West Ham United shows interest in their prized possession.
The Gabonese international arrived at the Wearside club in 2016 and has been playing a very important role in their midfield, thus stabilising it to a great extent and keeping a lot of possession of the ball with himself. However, a demotion to the second division in the last season might have affected the player’s mindset and he might not resist the chance of getting back into the top flight with another club should the occasion arise in the future.
The 23-year-old midfielder has been one of the most dependable figures in the Sunderland lineup since his arrival at the London Stadium and has appeared in 39 matches for the Black Cats so far in his tenure with them. His physical presence in the middle of the pitch has been a very important factor for the now Championship side for the last couple of seasons, which they will be wanting to hold onto in the future days as well.
On the other hand, West Ham United, who are currently in deep trouble and have slipped down to the bottom position in the league table, will be willing to get someone in the team who can keep good possession of the ball in the forthcoming matches, helping them to dominate the proceedings. In that case, a player like Ndong can be an ideal addition to their side.
