It’s no secret that they need to tighten up in the back. Signing a quality defensive midfielder could prove to be a wise decision. The 19-year-old will help protect the back four and allow creative players to operate with more freedom. He is also capable of playing the role of central defender. Its versatility could be an added bonus.
The 19-year-old is a talented young player with a bright future and he could be a long-term investment for the club. If they can land him for a reasonable fee, it could prove to be a wise investment for the London club.
It has been a disappointing season for West Ham so far, and they will be looking to bounce back strongly. They will also want to secure their place in the Premier League next season. Improving defensively should be one of the priorities during the second half of the campaign. It remains to be seen whether they will be able to provide the necessary additions.
The 19-year-old could be attracted by the idea of joining the Premier League. It remains to be seen whether the German team will sanction his departure in the middle of the season. He has been an important player for them and they might not want to lose him.
