West Ham face a stern test this month as they look to build upon a victory over West Brom that saw the Hammers move out of the relegation zone and January signings will be crucial to their quest.
The East London side have improved significantly since the appointment of David Moyes earlier this season and will now hand the Scottish boss the required funds to turn the tide of their season around.
Moyes is looking to rejuvenate his squad and his preference is to sign players with Premier League experience, aiming to reduce the settling in period for the mid-season recruits, and it seems he’s ready to raid a relegation rival.
A report from Football.London suggests that Bournemouth duo Ryan Fraser and Harry Arter are both on Moyes’ shopping list this month, with Arter providing experience whilst Fraser, at 23, has plenty of time to become a key player.
Fraser, a versatile midfielder, has started ten Premier League matches for the Cherries so far this season, contributing three goals, whilst Arter has one goal in his 13 league appearances.
Given the situation at both clubs, it would be difficult to imagine Bournemouth sanctioning an exit to their Premier League rivals but neither player has established themselves as a crucial man in Eddie Howe’s ranks- so they could be allowed to leave for the right price.
