West Ham United could have two former Barcelona academy graduates in their squad by the end of this month, if David Moyes gets his way in the transfer window.

El Gol Digital have reported how West Ham are interested in Barca winger Gerard Deulofeu, while The Sun claims that the Hammers want Middlesbrough’s Adama Traore.

Both Deulofeu and Traore were schooled at La Masia, and if West Ham sign the pair then it will show that David Moyes is, perhaps, willing to change his style.

Moyes is renowned as a very defensive coach, but West Ham fans demand attractive football.

Signing Traore and Deulofeu would certainly show that Moyes is committed to playing in an attacking style, as the duo are so familiar with a patient style of play.

Whether West Ham will be able to pull off the double swoop remains to be seen.

But the fact that they are both on West Ham’s wishlist should encourage supporters that Moyes is committed to providing them with the stylish brand of football that they demand.
