January targets

My suggestions for what West Ham need in the window can be found in the Observer here, along with my half-season summary. Everyone knows WHU need a striker to cover for Antonio. The Evening Standard suggests we're interested in Blackburn's Ben Brereton Diaz, while Sky Sports claims the Irons are after Brazil striker Gabriel 'Gabigol' Barbosa from Flamengo. Another target might be Arsenal's soon to be out-of-contract Eddie Nketiah. While with Moyes' record of converting wingers to strikers, perhaps WHU should consider Wolves' Adama Traore. It's no secret that Jesse Lingard is loved at West Ham and another move for the Man United midfielder would really help with Benrahma away in Africa and Fornals tiring — he could also do a job as a false nine. 

Defence is the other area for improvement with Ogbonna and Zouma both out, as Issa Diop's late lapses against Palace proved. Burnley's James Tarkowski and Liverpool's Nat Phillips are two centre backs who have been mentioned. While if Aaron Cresswell's back problem proves to be worse than expected then a loan move for a left back has to be a possibility. Plenty of work for Moyes and his team to do over the window,
