West Ham United’s recruitment plans keep changing. Nuno Espirito Santo prepares for another attempt to reshape the side this winter. The Hammers are also looking at David Moyes’ return, and the club’s focus has turned again to attacking options.
They failed to land a midfielder like Kenneth Taylor in the summer transfer window. Now, they need a forward who can bring movement, flair, and strength in the final third. Among the names linked, Joshua Zirkzee’s situation at Manchester United stands out.
Sevilla have entered the race for West Ham United’s transfer target Joshua Zirkzee
According to the Daily Mirror, Sevilla have now joined the race to sign the Dutchman ahead of the winter transfer window. Zirkzee has faced a tough time at Old Trafford. He joined Manchester United from Bologna last summer for £36.5 million but hasn’t found regular minutes or rhythm.
Ruben Amorim gives him very little game time and keeps him on the bench too often. The lack of opportunities frustrates him and pushes him to look for a move. The winter window could finally give him that chance. Both English and Spanish clubs want to sign the 24-year-old.
Sevilla value his skill and believe he can strengthen their front line. Meanwhile, West Ham United see him as a possible fix for their attacking inconsistency. Michail Antonio’s poor form worries the Hammers, so they search for new energy up front. Zirkzee now faces an important choice about his next step. He could stay in the Premier League or test himself in La Liga’s slower but more creative football.
Choosing the right path forward
Zirkzee barely plays for Manchester United, so he wants to move somewhere he can play more often. Every striker builds rhythm through regular football, but he lost it after joining the club. That’s why he now plans to leave in January. The question is which club he will choose.
West Ham United offer him a familiar environment and a league that rewards strength and effort. Nuno could use him as a technical forward who drops deep and connects play, giving the team more creativity and control.
Sevilla, on the other hand, can give him calm surroundings and help him regain confidence away from England’s intense spotlight. Both teams offer strong reasons, but Zirkzee must decide which feels more stable. If he wants to rebuild quickly, West Ham’s Premier League campaign under Nuno fits him better, but if he prefers patience and technical football, Sevilla gives him that escape.
