West Ham step up midfield hunt after Álvarez heads to Fenerbahce on loan
For now, West Ham have moved to loan Edson Álvarez to Fenerbahce for the season.
Thus the loan frees funds and clears Álvarez wages from the wage bill.
Therefore West Ham want two midfielders, one deep and one advanced.
Hence the club targets energy and creativity in midfield.
Álvarez has fallen from favour, so the move helps the squad.
Meanwhile Fenerbahce hold an option to buy, and Álvarez must agree to the loan.
However, the soul of West Ham lives in the stands, not the boardroom, and the badge still calls.
Nevertheless, rivals such as Millwall and Spurs will get a jab for hiding the East End rhythm.
Finally the plan keeps a high press and a hard tackle in sight.
TLDR
- Álvarez loan to Fenerbahce frees funds for midfield signings.
- West Ham target two midfielders, one deep and one attacking.
- The soul of the club stays with the stands, not the board.
