West Ham United are set to be active in the summer transfer window if David Moyes remains in charge.

Radio pundit Stuart Pearce looks on prior to the Barclays Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United at White Hart Lane on April 10, 2016 in London, England.

Stuart Pearce has told the Debate, which was broadcast on Sky Sports on 17th April, that he finds it incredible that West Ham United have not been able to leave a senior player in the stands since he arrived.

Pearce has been appointed as David Moyes’ assistant, and he has suggested that if he remains at West Ham for the summer transfer window, then strengthening the squad will be imperative.

Pearce feels that his current options at West Ham are very slim, and that is shown from the fact that every senior player has always had to be included in Moyes’ match-day squad when fit.

“The incredible thing is in the time we’ve been at the club we’ve never left a senior player in the stands, so I think the squad needs growing,” Pearce said, when asked about West Ham’s transfer plans for the summer.

It is not yet clear whether Pearce and Moyes will remain in charge at West Ham next term.

There is a weight of feeling against Moyes’ stewardship, even though he looks likely to keep West Ham in the Premier League.

Many Hammers fans feel that the Scottish boss has been too defensive during his time in charge, and want a more pro-active manager in charge next season.

West Ham managed to draw 1-1 with Stoke City in their most recent match, which has pushed them closer to safety.

The Hammers are likely to need just one more victory from their remaining matches, with their next game coming against Arsenal at the weekend.
