Report: Irons could go back in for long-term target

|

West Ham are again being linked with a swoop for Ben Brereton Diaz at Blackburn Rovers.

Boss David Moyes is a big fan of the striker and considered a bid for the Chile international in the summer.

The Hammers ultimately opted against doing a deal for Brereton Diaz, as they secured the signing of Gianluca Scamacca instead.

However, Ex WHU Employee now reports that a new offer is being considered as Moyes looks to bolster his squad to battle relegation.

The 23-year-old has again been key for Blackburn this season and has scored nine goals in the Championship, with the club currently third in the table.

Brereton Diaz has a contract that expires at the end of the season and the Hammers may have an opportunity to convince the club to negotiate a deal.

Moyes is likely to have bigger priorities than signing a striker in January but we know he is a fan of the player, and a cut-price deal may appeal.

    Another poor signing if this happens, he is not the player we need to compliment the players we have. A player like the french player terrier is what we need.

    I find this BBD chat ridiculous. Apparently he was available for £15m in the summer. Even if that’s £10 mil short of what it would have taken, and if DM is really such a fan, why oh why did we waste the money on the likes Emerson and Cornet? It just doesn’t add up. Yes, we needed a left back. Not sure we needed Cornet at all but Emerson is not a DM player. Basically carbon copy of Masuaku, awful defender, passable wing back. DM has no trust in him.
