An FA Cup humbling could prompt West Ham to kickstart their January transfer activity this month if Hammers boss David Moyes gets his way.
Speaking after the defeat to Bristol City on Tuesday night, the West Ham manager was asked if the club might look to complete some deals before the end of the month. He said: "I would probably say yes to that. The truth is we’ll try and do some business. Undoubtedly, there’s a desire from the club to try and do something and from me and everybody there. The next part is, can we get the right players to come in and ones we think could help just now?”
LondonWorld looks at the rumours currently out there to see what the West Hams's starting XI may look like when the window closes.
9. CAM - Jack Clarke
West Ham are one of the Premier League sides named as interested in Sunderland star Jack Clarke, as carried by the Sunderland Echo. The 23-year-old is a left winger but has experience through the middle - it seems unlikely he'd beat Paqueta to a starting spot so soon. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
10. RW - Mohammed Kudus

11. ST - Jarrod Bowen
Of course, Bowen is more natural as a winger and there are some murmurs of striker interest from West Ham - but the talisman is clinical in front of goal and more than capable in this role. | AFP via Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
