West Ham United manager Graham Potter defeated Fulham 3-2 in his first Premier League match as manager. Despite an important win against Marco Silva’s side, the Hammers remain 13th in the league and have a tough task ahead of them if they are to finish the season in at least the top half of the table.
The No.9 position has been a particular concern at the London Stadium, leading to Julen Lopetegui’s downfall. Nicklas Furkrug has had a subpar performance since joining West Ham from Borussia Dortmund at the start of this season, and is likely to miss all games due to Michail Antonio’s car accident. foreseeable future.
West Ham, who spent a lot of time rebuilding their squad last summer, are prepared to support Potter in the January transfer window, with the former Chelsea boss making signing a striker a top priority. Standard Sport reports that the player is keen to storm Fulham this month by signing Rodrygo Muniz from London rivals Fulham.
Muniz card transfer
Rodrygo Muniz will be open to leaving Craven Cottage as he has been displaced by Raul Jimenez in Fulham’s line-up. The Brazilian forward is looking to play regularly and West Ham could offer him consistent minutes despite his young age and relative lack of starting experience.
However, Standard Sport reports that signing Muniz will not be easy. It added that it would require a “substantial offer” or a loan deal for the remainder of the campaign with the obligation to make the deal permanent to lure him away from Fulham. Manchester United would have had to pay £50m for the forward last year, although the west Londoner’s demands are not yet clear.
We wonder what kind of offer West Ham intend to make for Muniz in the coming days, and whether Fulham are really prepared to let him go midway through the season, especially following comments from Marco Silva that he’s not for sale. I don’t know yet.
