West Ham United boss David Moyes is reportedly keen to bring in the midfield pair.

If West Ham United are able to snap up Marouane Fellaini and Tom Cairney in the summer, then their midfield options will look much stronger next season.

The Daily Mirror claim that Fellaini is on West Ham’s wishlist this summer, while The Sun claim that David Moyes’ side want Cairney from Fulham.

And by signing the pair, West Ham would have the power and creativity in the middle of the pitch that they have lacked this season.

Fellaini may have his critics, but there can be little doubting his effectiveness.

The Belgian is a real powerhouse, that carries a scoring threat and can protect a defence.

Cairney, on the other hand, is a completely different type of midfielder – but he could be equally as valuable to the Hammers.

Tom Cairney of Fulham is dejected after the Sky Bet Championship Play Off Second Leg match between Reading and Fulham at Madejski Stadium on May 16, 2017 in Reading, England.

Cairney can dictate play with his range of passing, and he has been one of the stand out players in the Championship this season.

The 27-year-old could complement Fellaini well in the heart of West Ham’s midfield, and if Moyes could bring the pair in then the core of the Hammers’ squad would look much stronger next term.
