West Ham United have seemingly found their long lost form and are looking in really good touch for the first time in the Premier League this season. The players are looking confident and are enjoying their football under their new manager David Moyes, as they did in their last outing against Stoke City.
The new manager, however, might look to add some new players to the side and has been eyeing a few of them in recent times, right before the January transfer window. One of the names, which is right on the top of his target list, is that of the French defender Adama Soumaoro, who is currently playing for the French club Lille in the Ligue 1.
A part of the French club since 2011, the 25-year-old has been one of the hot targets for a number of clubs in the recent season with the likes of Everton and Borussia Dortmund also trying to bring the player into their fold in January. Spanish outfit Sevilla is also understood to be interested in the player.
The Hammers are one of the teams this term which faced a lot of criticism, given their dismal start to the season. This also led to the sacking of their former manager Slaven Bilic, as the ex-Everton and Manchester United manager David Moyes took the reigns at the London Stadium. The former Sunderland manager had a lot to prove to his critics after last few years of grave disappointment in the managerial battleground and it seems that he has been able to make his stand clear through his impeccable managerial style, which has brought the hope of redemption among the West Ham players as well as fans.
However, the Scot is well aware of the fact that he might need fresh faces to beef up the side and help them regain their pride this season, which they lost in the last term. This has made it important for the Hammers to add to their squad and Soumaoro might be a good signing to start off with.
Known for his immense physicality, the defender also has the ability to play as a midfielder and can come in handy for any side in modern day football. His ability to play linkup with the others in the middle of the pitch and control the ball with brilliant footwork has earned him rave reviews from a number of experts from all over Europe.
His style of play, which complements his sturdy physical attributes, might make him an instant hit in English football if the Hammers decide to bring in the 19-year-old versatile player into their side in the near future.
