David Moyes eyes Adnan Januzaj reunion as West Ham close in on £25million Nayef Aguerd

David Moyes is reportedly keen on a reunion with Adnan Januzaj at West Ham this summer.

The 27-year-old will be a free agent at the end of June when his contract expires at Real Sociedad and the Hammers are said to be one of several suitors, including Napoli and Real Betis, interested in his services.

The West Ham boss has been looking to sign some attacking players to release the burden on Michail Antionio’s shoulders.

Jarrod Bowen did well to support him last season though adding another forward-minded player like Januzaj would no doubt help further.

Before then, the Hammers are close to securing their first signing of the transfer window in left-footed centre-back Nayef Aguerd from Rennes for around £25million. The 26-year-old Morocco international has been a regular for the
