West Ham United should perhaps consider a move for West Bromwich Albion winger Oliver Burke.
The Guardian reported upon his arrival at The Hawthorns that the Baggies had paid £15 million for the winger, but it is fair to say that life with West Brom has not exactly gone to plan for the Scotland international.
Burke has bags of talent, but has struggled for game-time, and The Sun on Sunday suggested that he may now be sold to boost Pardew’s transfer kitty – so perhaps West Ham should consider a move.
David Moyes clearly has some belief in the 20-year-old. The Chronicle reported in August 2016 that he had been scouting the wide-man during his time as Sunderland boss before he made the move from Nottingham Forest to RB Leipzig.
Given his time in the Bundesliga and with West Brom, it would be something of a gamble for West Ham to pursue Burke this month, but he appears to have the kind of ability and potential that could help take the Hammers to another level – and help ensure that they are nowhere near the bottom three in the Premier League by the time the season comes to a conclusion.
With his stock seemingly fairly low right now, another club may not get a better chance to potentially lure Burke away. And West Ham should look to take advantage of his apparent availability and make a bid this month as he could prove to be an inspired addition.
