It ended up being a fairly quiet January transfer window at West Ham. David Moyes didn’t rush into any deals and ended up bringing in striker Danny Ings from fellow Premier League side Aston Villa and young defender Luizao from Sao Paulo.
There were also some outgoings from the London Stadium including centre-back Craig Dawson to Wolves and experienced goalkeeper Darren Randolph to AFC Bournemouth. Midfielder Conor Coventry was also given the green light to join Champinship side Rotherham United on loan until the summer to get some more game time.
Here is a look at West Ham’s strongest XI after last month...
