West Ham United want Adnan Januzaj and have now made contact with his representatives in the hope of striking a deal.
The Hammers haven’t yet dipped into the summer transfer window but need new recruits for David Moyes.
A new winger will surely be on West Ham’s wish list with Andriy Yarmolenko on the move and Said Benrahma potentially on his way out.
Ismaila Sarr has been linked with West Ham but Moyes could instead engineer a much cheaper move by reuniting with Januzaj.
West Ham United want Adnan Januzaj
The Daily Star report that Moyes wants to bring winger Januzaj to West Ham and a deal may be in the pipeline.
It’s stated that West Ham have made contact with Januzaj’s representatives as they look to make a deal happen.
Januzaj is a free agent having been released by Spanish club Real Sociedad at the end of his contract this summer.
The Belgian international hit five goals and three assists in 44 appearances this past season.
Januzaj has been a favourite for Moyes over the years and a reunion really wouldn’t be a surprise.
Moyes handed Januzaj his breakthrough at Manchester United back in 2013 and the wide man responded by scoring twice against Sunderland.
Many expected Januzaj to become an absolute star off the back of that performance but it just never really happened for him.
Moyes and Januzaj reunited at Sunderland back in 2016 and the 27-year-old wide man has previously praised Moyes.
Joining forces again could make sense, with Januzaj a right-sided, left-footed winger just like Jarrod Bowen.
Januzaj could offer ideal competition for Bowen in a cheap deal, and Moyes may feel that he can get the best out of his former wide man.
Moyes will of course want to spend money on reinforcements this summer, but a free agent he loves may have just fallen into his lap in Januzaj.
