West Ham Targets James McAtee for January Transfer

West Ham United is actively scouting for midfield reinforcements, particularly targeting Manchester City's James McAtee as a potential replacement for Lucas Paquetá, who is currently under scrutiny due to a betting breach. McAtee, a promising 22-year-old attacking midfielder, has seen limited playing time this season despite being highly regarded by Pep Guardiola. Fulham is also interested in McAtee, who could be available for around £20 million. In addition, West Ham has been linked with Valencia's Javi Guerra as they seek to strengthen their midfield ahead of the January transfer window. The Hammers have struggled in midfield, prompting a need for more creativity and physicality in their squad. As they prepare for potential managerial changes, the club is looking to make significant investments in January to improve their performance.
