With the January transfer window approaching, West Ham are being linked with several players. However, fans may be in for a surprise, as the club’s war chest appears depleted. Due to PSR constraints, the focus will likely be on loan signings or young, low-cost talent.
There could still be some “wheeling and dealing” reminiscent of Harry Redknapp’s time at the club.
One rumour that holds weight is the link to Airdrie sensations Cole and Dylan Williams.
The 16-year-old midfielders have been earning rave reviews for the Scottish Championship’s academy side. While they’ve been unused substitutes for the first team this season, they are yet to sign professional terms, currently on short-term contracts.
West Ham, along with Celtic, Crystal Palace, Southampton, and Everton, are reportedly tracking the pair.
Should they join the Hammers, they will be integrated into the U-18 setup as players for the future. With the academy recently losing several youngsters to rival clubs, staff are eager to recruit fresh talent to emphasise the development of homegrown players.
