West Ham hold firm interest in signing young star from London rivals.

With the futures of both Lucas Paqueta and Mohammed Kudus both up in the air, it’s important that West Ham start looking at potentially signing someone who can play both in midfield and on the wing to replace either one of them.

Reports have emerged claiming that the Hammers could sign Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka in the coming windows.

A loan deal with an option to buy could be ideal for our Irons considering the little game time he’s had this season. The 21-year-old is yet to really prove himself in the Premier League yet, but the potential he possesses is unbelievable.

Our own ExWHUEmployee has since confirmed that West Ham do hold strong interest in the Englishman, particularly if one of the two mentioned players do end up leaving.

Signing a young, exciting, versatile player with some Premier League experience is exactly the move the club should be making. A lot of the Summer signings from abroad have failed to make a real impact, so it makes sense to look to domestic players – something Ex revealed will be a focus going forward.
