|

David Moyes admits that the summer transfer window is vital to West Ham’s progression as a club.

The Hammers did not sign anyone in the January transfer window but Moyes believes that the club have to improve across the next few months, and that player recruitment is central to that.

He believes that the club have put together a system and a backroom team that is supportive and is aiming to reach the next level, and he admits that the summer will be absolutely vital to the club’s chances of progressing.

Speaking to reporters, he said: “You might tell me it’s as joined up as it’s been for a long time.

There’s a lot more things coming together. We’re all looking at it in the same way.

The board are really enjoying the period they’re in, like the manager is.

We want to build on it. We want to make it better. We’ve grown really quickly, really fast in two years.

“The next bit is to get another good layer of foundations in so we can try to build for, not just the next six months, the next year, but we can try to get another layer of foundations in which gives us a chance to be successful for the next two or three years going forward.

“That’s where I’m seeing it. The next transfer window would be important for me to get that next layer of foundations down for it. The club have been very good.”
