Reliable club insider ExWHUemployee has now backed some promising transfer reports involving West Ham United and Manchester City star Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The Lowdown: Hammers eye move...

The Hammers and manager David Moyes are well in the mix to sign City's versatile gem this summer with The Mirror claiming they are set to battle Arsenal for his signature.

Zinchenko has proved a brilliant asset for Sky Blues boss Pep Guardiola, as evident by his phenomenal contribution on the final day of their 2021/2022 Premier League season.

The Ukranian's introduction in the second half of their dramatic 3-2 victory over Aston Villa, a title-clinching win, helped to change the game and add more balance on City's left channel.

He added real threat and helped to turn the tide on a memorable afternoon, potentially prompting interest from West Ham as they eye his possible signing.

The Latest: ExWHUemployee makes Zinchenko claim...

Club insider Ex, speaking to The West Ham Way, has now backed these reports of Moyes' interest in signing Zinchenko.

He explained:

"We are definitely very interested in Zinchenko. However the player has made it clear he wants to play a midfield role rather than a defender. So it could be that would suit us well with him filling in at left back if need be."

The Verdict: Get it done...

The 25-year-old, as explained by 90min journalist Toby Cudworth, would be a 'superb signing' for Moyes, and we believe he should be a priority target.

Adept at playing further forward as an attacking midfielder and at left-back, Zinchenko's addition would plug more than one hole in the West Ham squad.

One major obstacle could be the presence of Arsenal in the race, especially since manager Mikel Arteta already knows the player well from their time together at Eastlands.
