These 3 star January signings are top of West Ham United’s Christmas list

West Ham United crashed out of the League Cup on Wednesday following a disappointing 4-1 defeat at Manchester United in the quarter-finals.

Slaven Bilic’s side drew 1-1 at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday, but were unable to back that up with a positive result as braces from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Anthony Martial condemned the Hammers faithful with a long trip back to East London.

Defeat was their third in their last five games in all competitions, and it has increased the pressure on under-fire boss Bilic ahead of their tricky home game against Arsenal in the league on Saturday.

And, with the Hammers struggling near the wrong end of the Premier League table, Bilic may be thinking about who he can bring in during the January window to get West Ham back up the table.

Thus, here are the THREE star signings that top West Ham’s Christmas list…
