"As per Football Insider, Pete O'Rourke has confirmed that West Ham are interested in Zirkzee, and they could make a move for him when the transfer window re-opens in January. If there is a green light for Zirkzee to leave Man United in January, I'm sure a lot of clubs will be in for him. Obviously the player himself is frustrated at his lack of opportunities this season and he could push for a move away in January if those minutes don't improve."
"West Ham, I think it's pretty obvious that they do need a striker because it's been a problem position for them in recent years. Michael Antonio left when his contract expired, and neither Fullkrug nor Wilson have nailed down that number nine spot in the West Ham side. So I think if West Ham are still in relegation trouble come January, I think bringing in a new striker will be key to their hopes of staying up."
"West Ham are likely to make additions to Nuno Espirito Santo's squad in January, as they seek to avoid a relegation battle in the Premier League. One area that could be addressed is striker, where the Londoners have struggled in recent years. Nuno has Niclas Fullkrug and Callum Wilson as his number nines for the first half of the season, but there is every chance that he sees someone else in January if neither player is able to pick up form in the coming months."
West Ham plan possible January signings to avoid a Premier League relegation battle. Striker is a priority due to long-term struggles and the departure of Michael Antonio. Nuno Espirito Santo currently has Niclas Fullkrug and Callum Wilson as number nines, but neither has secured the role. Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee has emerged as a target, with West Ham interested if United grants him permission to leave in January. Zirkzee has limited playing time at United, making four substitute appearances this season, and is already thinking about life away from Old Trafford.
