As per 90min, a shock transfer claim has come out of West Ham United involving former Liverpool star and Paris-Saint Germain midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.

The Lowdown: Agents approach Moyes...

As confirmed by the boss himself, agents have already been attempting to offer their top players to both manager David Moyes and West Ham United (football.london).

The Scotsman's candid admission in a recent press conference perhaps exemplifies his side's season so far and how they're continuing to defy expectation, with West Ham currently still fighting on all fronts.

As the January window looms, the Hammers' top priorities appear to be an emergency centre-half and the continued pursuit of a back-up striker to Michail Antonio (The Daily Mail).

However, that hasn't stopped them from being tipped to bolster their midfield too, with 90min now sharing some surprise news.

The Latest: West Ham approached over Wijnaldum...

As per the outlet and reporter Graeme Bailey, West Ham and Moyes have been 'approached' by representatives of PSG player Wijnaldum just months after his move to the Parc des Princes from Liverpool.

His agents are apparently 'working on finding him a potential loan move in the new year' with West Ham among those to have been offered the 31-year-old alongside 'more than half the Premier League'.

The Irons' stance is not yet clear as they have allegedly refused to rule out the possibility of signing him temporarily in January.

The Verdict: Get it done?

Capable of playing further forward in the attacking midfield positions, Wijnaldum is arguably proven in the English top flight and could come as a cheaper alternative to target Jesse Lingard - especially on loan.

The 85-cap ace, called 'sensational' by Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, has scored an impressive 26 goals over those appearances for the Netherlands - potentially highlighting his threat going forward.

Despite playing a bit-part role under Mauricio Pochettino this season, he's still managed to make his mark in the Champions League group stages with two goals, all while averaging an impressive 91% pass accuracy in midfield - more than any West Ham regular domestically with over two starts (WhoScored).

The only big caveat could be his reported £165,000-per-week wages, over £40,000 more than what West Ham's current highest earner, Kurt Zouma, is taking home (spotrac).
