Jesse Marsch’s Leeds United and David Moyes’s West Ham United are interested in signing Club Brugge winger Noa Lang, according to GiveMeSport.

The report has claimed that Lang will become available in the coming months, and that Premier League clubs Leeds and West Ham are interested in him.

Could Leeds or West Ham sign Noa Lang?

In our view, Leeds United or West Ham United could be able to sign Club Brugge winger Lang, but in the summer of 2023 and not in the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old is an important player for Club Brugge, who are aiming to win the 2022–23 Belgian Pro League title for the fourth season in a row, and they will surely not want to sell the Netherlands international winger in the middle of the campaign.

However, Leeds or West Ham would be able to sign Lang next summer, if they pay a good transfer fee.

The 23-year-old has made four starts and eight substitute appearances in the Belgian domestic league so far this season, scoring two goals and providing two assists in the process.

Lang scored seven goals and gave 12 assists in the league last season.

Interestingly, the winger has been compared to Brazil and Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar.

Lang’s agent Bart Baving said in September 2021, as quoted in Calciomercato: “Noa is Noa, he has always had this type of playing style. He always works hard and has excellent technique, dribbling and vision.

“He is also an excellent decision maker and a neat finisher. He is also a generous player, anything but selfish. I’ve heard a lot of people say he looks like Neymar, especially after the PSG match.”
