West Ham United’s Premier League struggles have continued this season, with little improvement since Nuno Espírito Santo replaced Graham Potter in September.

After 18 league matches, the Hammers have managed just three wins and currently sit 18th in the table, five points adrift of 17th-placed Nottingham Forest. With survival now the priority, the London club are preparing for a busy January transfer window.

Hammers Target Salzburg Winger Moussa Yeo

West Ham have identified Red Bull Salzburg winger Moussa Yeo as a potential solution to their attacking problems.

According to Africa Foot, the Premier League side have already made contact with the Austrian club regarding the 21-year-old Malian international. The report claims West Ham have tabled an €8 million bid and are keen to complete the deal as soon as the winter window opens.

Salzburg Open to Sale, Talks Ongoing

Yeo joined Red Bull Salzburg in 2022 after moving from Malian side Guidars FC and remains under contract until 2027. However, Salzburg are reportedly open to selling the winger.

The main sticking point in negotiations appears to be a 10% sell-on clause, which the Austrian club are demanding. Discussions between both clubs are ongoing, with this clause believed to be the key issue.

Player Decision Still Needed

While Yeo’s camp is said to be in favour of a move, West Ham must still convince the player himself to make the switch to the Premier League next month.

Yeo Could Replace Luis Guilherme

Meanwhile, Portuguese side Sporting CP are pushing to sign West Ham winger Luis Guilherme. Reports from Record suggest the Hammers are open to a permanent transfer and have placed a price tag of €15–18 million on the Brazilian.

Should Guilherme depart, Yeo could step into Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad as a lower-cost replacement, giving West Ham added pace and depth on the flanks during their relegation fight.
