West Ham United will be in the market for new signings this summer.
West Ham United gave their survival hopes a major boost on Saturday afternoon with a 3-0 thrashing of Southampton at the London Stadium – and also boosted David Moyes’ chances of a new contract.
The Hammers were in top form against the Saints and now sit five points clear of the relegation zone, with Moyes edging ever closer to achieving his target of keeping the club in the Premier League.
West Ham will soon have to decide whether to extend the Scot’s contract, and The Mirror report that Moyes could be in line for a new two-year deal having been convinced that he is the man to lead the club forward.
Moyes would then be charged with the task of improving his squad ahead of next season, and midfield has to be on area of concern after failing to land a permanent improvement in January.
The Mirror claim that Moyes wants to keep loanee Joao Mario though, and West Ham may pursue a permanent deal for the Portuguese international after his goal and assist against Southampton on Saturday.
Mario may cost a hefty fee, and Moyes seemingly isn’t stopping there, as it’s also noted that he has been watching Hibernian midfielder John McGinn ahead of a possible move for his compatriot.
McGinn wouldn’t cost more than £5million and could be the second midfield signing for West Ham this summer, as Moyes seemingly eyes up one expensive addition and one cheaper signing in a bid to bulk up his midfield after issues for Mark Noble, Cheikhou Kouyate and Pedro Obiang this season.
