This summer could be an intriguing one for West Ham United, especially if the club decide to part ways with manager, David Moyes. The Scottish coach was believed to be on the verge of signing a new contract with the Hammers, but their devastating 6-0 defeat against London rivals, Arsenal, has likely caused everyone to reconsider that decision. This match highlighted just how much the game has evolved, while Moyes remains stuck in the past with his overly cautious tactics. If the West Ham board truly wants to be seen as forward-thinking, then there is only one choice they can make.
Last year, the club came close to securing a transfer for Lucas Paqueta to Manchester City, but the deal fell through at the final hurdle. Rumors suggest that a betting scandal deterred the Premier League champions, yet almost a year later, no evidence has emerged, and according to Football Insider, City are now looking to finalize the transfer this summer. The report also states that West Ham are open to the move, as long as the price is right.
Losing their best and most creative player presents a significant challenge for West Ham. Despite being sidelined with an injury for some time, Paqueta’s contribution of five goals and six assists in the 2023/24 season played a crucial role in lifting the Irons up the league table. Their lack of victories since his absence is a troubling sign for the team.
