West Ham: Moyes 'really likes' £76k-a-week free agent at London Stadium

West Ham signing Adnan Januzaj makes perfect sense as a squad player, according to journalist Jacque Talbot.

The Hammers have been linked with the ex-Manchester United star throughout the transfer window due to David Moyes’ previous with the winger and Talbot is completely on board with him making the switch to the London Stadium.

The next couple of days could prove a potential season-defining for the Hammers, who have endured a poor start to the Premier League campaign, but their fortunes might soon be about to change depending on how they fare from now until Thursday night.

Lyon star Lucas Paqueta is expected to arrive and become Moyes’ marquee signing this summer, although the former Everton boss still wants further additions before the 11pm deadline.

One of those could arrive in the shape of Januzaj, with talkSPORT claiming that the forward is in talks over a move to the London Stadium.

Januzaj, who was handed his Red Devils debut by Moyes back in 2013, is a free agent after his £76,000 per-week contract at Real Sociedad expired back in June, meaning West Ham can sign him for nothing.

Moyes has already added Maxwel Cornet to his squad, but Jarrod Bowen remains the Hammers’ only genuine option on the right, which is where Januzaj has spent the majority of his career.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “Well, he had him at Manchester United as well, so I imagine Moyes really likes him.

“He’s got some technical ability, I don’t think he will be starting every week, but as someone to feel the gaps, I don’t see why not, especially as Moyes has history with him and clearly likes him.”

Januzaj’s attacking output in top-flight football hasn’t been great, but he would still be a decent signing on a free transfer, especially considering
