West Ham in need of reinforcement of attack power, lead competition for Manchester United Lingard
[골닷컴] Reporter Han Man-seong = Hwang Hee-chan (25) is not the only attacking resource for West Ham United this winter. West Ham emerged as a leader in signing Manchester United (Man United) second-tier forward Jesse Lingard (28).
Hwang Hee-chan, who was unable to establish his position in the team at Leipzig this season, opened the possibility of a loan transfer in the transfer market this winter. Local reports say that West Ham and Mainz are interested in him. According to the German football magazine’Kicker’, Hwang Hee-chan is approaching the English Premier League enough to conclude a lease agreement with West Ham sooner or later.

However, West Ham are currently looking for other attack resources besides Hwang Hee-chan. According to the British public broadcaster’BBC’, West Ham are the most advanced in the competition for Lingard, which Manchester United put on the winter transfer market.
‘BBC’ reported on the 26th that “West Ham is the most advanced club among the clubs trying to hire Lingard from Manchester United.” “Lingard is getting a lot of attention this winter,” the media said, “but West Ham are in the best position to sign Lingard if they can easily coordinate with Manchester United. But West Ham is due to Premier League rules.” “I’m having a hard time with it.”

The Premier League limits the number of players to two players on loan in England for each club each season. But West Ham have already signed Craig Dawson and Saeed Benrachma on loan this season. In other words, West Ham must sign at least one of Dawson or Ben Lahma in full to sign Lingard. On the other hand, Hwang Hee-chan is an active player in Germany, so it has nothing to do with the rules.
