Indeed, 90min even recently claimed that the Irons had sent scouts to watch Middlesbrough mainstay Dael Fry, Queen's Park Rangers colossus Rob Dickie and Bournemouth's Lloyd Kelly.

The Championship, as a result, could be a fruitful transfer pool for Moyes and co as yet more news emerges on another gem they could bid for from the division.

The Latest: West Ham 'tempted' by Lewis-Potter bid...

As per The Hull Daily Mail, sharing news in the last 48 hours, West Ham are now eyeing a bid for promising Hull forward Lewis-Potter and are 'tempted' to submit a January offer.

It is believed the club have been keeping close tabs recently with Moyes even a personal admirer of the 20-year-old.

As such, chief head of recruitment Rob Newman could test the water next month with an approach.

The Verdict: Priority?

Tipped to follow in the foot steps of West Ham star Jarrod Bowen as another talented attacker emerges from the MKM Stadium, while promising, we believe the club could have bigger fish to fry next month.

Describing himself as a 'raw' forward, Lewis-Potter has earned praise for some of his performances over 2021 and he is quite rightfully attracting attention, but the Hammers simply must be prioritising an emergency centre-half signing and support up front for Michail Antonio.

Their lack of options in both areas at this present moment could spell danger for Moyes and co as they continue to fight on all fronts, including the Carabao Cup, Europa League and a fight for the Premier League top four.

Injuries to both Kurt Zouma and Angelo Ogbonna make the signing of a new defender particularly crucial and that transfer mission should take centre stage above all others.
