West Ham star to be 38-time league champion’s marquee January transfer window signing. West Ham United seemingly could be set to sell one of our players to one of the game’s very biggest clubs.
The upcoming January transfer window will be a vitally important one for West Ham, and of course Julen Lopetegui, if he is still in charge at the London Stadium!
What On Earth Is Going On At Man City?
It has actually been claimed that the Hammers board are prepared to give Lopetegui more time to prove himself. I personally don’t think that’s the correct decision, but only time will tell.
If the Spaniard is given the chance to strengthen his squad once again in January, he needs to bring in at least two top-class players.
However, moving on some of the deadwood will be key for Lopetegui as well. And it seems like one player in particular is destined to leave the Hammers this winter.
West Ham star could be club’s marquee January window signing. There are numerous players at the London Stadium who are simply not good enough as far as I’m concerned. Guido Rodriguez is reportedly up for sale this winter.
Soy Del Millio claim that the 30-year-old is in talks to join Argentine giants River Plate in the January window. River are a huge football club, and have won the league out in Argentina an incredible 38 times.
Former Hammer Manuel Lanzini joined River Plate back in the summer of 2023, and now Rodriguez could be set to link up with him. The 30-year-old’s spell at the London Stadium has been an extremely underwhelming one so far.
He’s nowhere near good enough for the Premier League, and lacks the physicality needed to succeed in England.
He was a terrible signing to begin with, but it might end up being good business for the Hammers, if we can pick him up decent fee for him.
Guido Rodriguez joined West Ham on a free transfer in the summer, and it seems like his stay in East London could be set to come to an end already, when the January transfer window opens.
Selling him will be the correct decision in my opinion. If new Saints boss Ivan Juric carries out West Ham threat then it’s curtains for Julen Lopetegui. West Ham go to basement side Southampton on Boxing Day with Julen Lopetegui looking to avoid a knockout blow.
West Ham’s game against the Saints once again represents a must-win game for Julen Lopetegui.
After being given a final chance following shambolic defeats to Arsenal and Leicester, the Hammers have ridden their luck in the three games since.
West Ham were extremely fortunate not to lose to Wolves let alone win.
Brighton also missed a glut of golden chances to take victory in an unconvincing 1-1 draw at the London Stadium last time out.
West Ham have just five wins from 17 Premier League games under Lopetegui. Fans have bemoaned a lack of any identity from the team as they languish in 14th place in the table.
