West Ham United have a new faec in their squad to face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon, with Craig Dawson snapped up.
The Hammers needed to find a new centre back after ending the international window without a new signing there, and struck to land Dawson on a season-long loan deal on Monday.
Dawson is now at Moyes’ disposal for this weekend’s big London derby with Tottenham, and it seems that Arthur Masuaku will be available too.
The 26-year-old has been superb in recent games, impressing in a left-wing back role as Moyes has switched to a 3-4-3 system.
Masuaku was linked with a summer exit from West Ham, but now finds himself as a key player, meaning his injury on international duty was met with concern.
Masuaku has been away with DR Congo, but returned to London early having picked up a knee injury, leaving some worried that he would miss the Tottenham game.
However, Football.London report that Masuaku ‘should be fine’ to face Tottenham, and his return from international duty was merely a precaution.
That’s a major boost for Moyes, who will be looking for Masuaku to get forward and exploit any space behind either Matt Doherty or Serge Aurier in Tottenham’s right-back position.
