West Ham United manager David Moyes is now weighing major bids for a number of top Premier League players, including Leeds United forward Raphinha, according to a fresh report.

The Lowdown: Moyes hoping for busy window...

The Hammers are believed to be closing in on their first major signing of the summer as West Ham edge nearer a deal for Rennes star and Morocco international defender Nayed Aguerd.

Moyes also wants to sign goalkeeper Alphonse Areola on a permanent deal from Paris-Saint Germain as the Scotsman hopes for what will be a fat busier transfer window than January.

West Ham must make new additions and strengthen in key areas if they wish to keep their place among England's elite with 90min now sharing an update on who else they could move for.

The Latest: Moyes weighing Raphinha bid...

According to their information, the east Londoners, and by extension Moyes, are 'considering' a bid to sign Leeds star Raphinha among many others - including Josh Brownhill of Burnley and Championship starlet Keane Lewis-Potter.

90min add that the club are also 'hopeful' of fending off suitors for star duo Declan Rice and Jarrod Bowen.

The Verdict: Make the move...

Lauded as a 'big player' by ex-Leeds man Noel Whelan and an 'unbelievable' one by former QPR keeper Paddy Kenny, the Brazil international has no shortage of admirers.

Raphinha, rated at around £40.5 million by Transfermarkt, was a star player at Elland Road over 2021/2022 - finishing the campaign as their most potent attacking threat by some way.

According to WhoScored, the South American forward was Leeds' best player in terms of average match rating, shots at goal, key passes made and successful take-ons per 90 - leaving little wonder Moyes is weighing an offer.
