Three Players Scott Parker Could Target As West Ham Prepare For January Window

Scott Parker could have an immediate opportunity to reshape West Ham United’s squad following his expected appointment as head coach after Nuno Espírito Santo’s dismissal.

The former Hammers midfielder faces a significant challenge as he looks to revive the club’s promotion ambitions, with West Ham currently eighth in the Championship, six points behind leaders Middlesbrough.

The London club made an encouraging start to the campaign, scoring 16 goals during a four-match winning streak in September. However, their momentum has since faded, with only two victories in their last six league matches. Consecutive home defeats to Southampton and West Bromwich Albion ultimately brought Nuno’s spell to an end.
