Everton flop’s January move could hinge on West Ham connection | OneFootball

West Ham are hoping to enter the January transfer market to land Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but the move could hinge on David Moyes.

With the Hammers without Niclas Fullkrug after his recent hamstring injury and Michail Antonio after his car crash, they are very light up front in terms of strikers.

Danny Ings came on for the German during their FA Cup tie against Aston Villa, but a player with just five goals in three seasons (transfermarkt) is never going to be the answer.

A move for Chelsea’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall would make it a hat-trick of cast offs potentially heading down to the London Stadium.

From Calvert-Lewin’s perspective, a change of scenery could hinge on David Moyes.

Give Me Sport note West Ham’s interest in the striker, and whilst the 27-year-old could move on a free this summer, Moyes may consider that he needs Calvert-Lewin to help fire the Toffees away from the relegation zone.

Furthermore, with Moyes’ former club essentially being a direct rival at this stage, the only plausible reason why he might agree to the striker’s move is because the board want to get something for him rather than allowing him to go for nothing at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.

It isn’t known at this point what Calvert Lewin’s own preference is, though if he has the chance to resurrect his career under a coach as progressive as Graham Potter, that may be a move he is willing to make.

Until Moyes makes his own position clear on the matter there’ll be no movement whatsoever, so all parties will have to sit tight.
