January 8, 2024

West Ham United is revving up their January transfer window with an eye on two exciting additions, including the potential signing of Steven Bergwijn.

As the pursuit for the 26-year-old Dutch winger intensifies, reports suggest that manager David Moyes is also scouting closer to home for additional firepower. The Mirror indicates that West Ham is now keen on securing the services of Jack Clarke from Sunderland.

Clarke, who had a challenging stint at Tottenham following a high-profile move from Leeds in 2019, has been showcasing his talent in the Championship with impressive performances for Sunderland this season.

Despite his commendable statistics – registering 12 goals and two assists in 26 Championship appearances (Transfermarkt) – some observers remain skeptical about his readiness for the Premier League.

While Clarke exhibits notable technical skills, concerns about his pace and physicality in the top-flight have emerged, with critics pointing to recent matches like the Sunderland vs. Newcastle FA Cup clash to underline his potential limitations at the highest level.

While acknowledging Clarke’s talent, doubts linger about his capacity to thrive consistently in the Premier League. Consequently, many believe that Bergwijn represents a more polished and seasoned choice for West Ham’s attacking prowess this transfer window.
