The West Ham bosses have assured fans that David Moyes is getting the best financial support possible.
West Ham United joint-chairman David Sullivan has assured the club’s fans that funding is available to make more signings before the January transfer window closes.
The Hammers have already brought in Portugal international winger Joao Mario on loan from Inter Milan but have struggled to attain some of David Moyes’ other targets.
However, Sullivan has made it clear that West Ham’s slow progress in the market is not down to stinginess from the board, insisting that everything is being done to make “quality” additions.
A statement on the club’s official website read: “I have been made aware of reports suggesting that there will be no more players joining the club this month due to funding not being available. Nothing could be further from the truth.
“The manager David Moyes has the board’s full backing in this window and, together, we continue to work night and day to bring in players to add quality and depth to the squad, despite January being a difficult time to do business.
“We are undefeated in our last five Premier League matches and are working round the clock with the manager to do all we can to ensure this run of good form continues.”
Fulham midfielder Tom Cairney appears to be top of West Ham’s shortlist before Wednesday’s deadline, although The Sun claims that the Cottagers are demanding a massive £30m.
Sullivan’s proactive statement suggests that the Hammers have not given up their chase of the 27-year-old, but it also puts pressure on himself and the rest of the club to get business done.
