David Moyes has vowed he will turn to West Ham’s young players to help turn the club’s season around rather than splash the cash this January.
The Hammers spent heavily during the summer window, including breaking their club record transfer fee for Austrian Marko Arnautovic, who joined the club from Stoke City for a reported £24 million.
Such tactics have proved ineffective so far however as the Hammers sit 18th in the Premier League table, and new manager David Moyes has revealed he won’t take the same approach this January, and instead will look to resources already at his disposal.
Moyes said: “I’ve just come back from India and watched the England Under-17’s and I thought they were terrific.
“I think there has to be a way forward for young players to get into teams. And possibly the squads in the Premier League are now over-cluttered and maybe ours could be as well.
“So maybe we have to find ways and room to get young players in.”
The Scotsman however refused to rule out any business after the New Year, saying he will address such issues nearer the time.
“But I’ve been told if we think we need something in January, but I’m not one to judge that at the moment.”
