Aaron Mooy has impressed in the Premier League despite Huddersfield Town’s relegation, would he fit in at Newcastle United or West Ham?
Harry Redknapp believes that relegated Huddersfield Town midfielder Aaron Mooy belongs in the Premier League and claims that West Ham or Newcastle United could do worse than to sign the Australian international this summer, speaking to the World Game.
Mooy initially joined The Terriers on loan from Manchester City in 2016 and he played a major role as they surprisingly earned promotion under David Wagner. As a result, Huddersfield jumped at the chance to sign him permanently for £10 million, as reported by the BBC.
And while the Yorkshire outfit became only the second team in Premier League history to be relegated before the clocks went back last weekend, Mooy’s impressive performances mean he is arguably the most likely Huddersfield player to be offered a move to another top flight club.
Redknapp believes that Newcastle or West Ham would be a good fit, pointing out that the former Bolton youngster is not yet ready for a top six side.
“Teams like the West Hams and Newcastles would be a good fit for him,” Redknapp said.
“No disrespect, he’s probably not going to be on the radar of a Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea or Tottenham but he could certainly do a top job for any one of those next tier of teams in the league who are looking for quality in the middle of the park.”
The World Game claims that Huddersfield would demand around £14.5 million for a player who has actually been linked with Newcastle and West Ham recently.
The Northern Echo claims that the 2013 A-League champion had been lined up to replace Jonjo Shelvey at Newcastle while The Times stated last summer that he was on West Ham’s radar.
