da 888casino： Following West Ham’s poor start to the season, reports from The Sun have suggested that London’s ‘culture club’ will look to Cesc Fabregas in the January transfer window in a bid to bolster their midfield ranks if they lose Dimitri Payet.
da casino： Fabregas, one of the greatest midfielders of his generation, has found it difficult to break into the Chelsea -firstteam as of late, seeing as Antonio Conte’s winning 3-4-3 formula requires sturdy central midfielders.
West Ham seem set to offer the 29-year-old a way out in a move that would benefit both Fabregas and the Hammers, who would need another creative-minded player should Payet opt for a transfer away from the London Stadium.
It would be a good deal for West Ham, that is of course if Fabregas makes the switch, but even if they do manage to sign him, his arrival may have little impact on West Ham’s league fortunes.
Bilic’s side are currently languishing in 17th place in the Premier League standings, which comes across as a bit of a surprise following the sort of campaign they had last term.
West Ham currently boast misfiring strikers having acquired the likes of Simone Zaza and Andre Ayew in the summer. Ashley Fletcher and Jonathan Calleri also arrived at the start of the season, but they appear to be long-term options rather than players expected to make an immediate impact.
Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho are yet to return to full fitness, but when they do it’s hard to envisage either of them hitting the back of the net regularly, even with the presence of a midfield maestro of Fabregas’ calibre.
Fabregas’ presence in a team can only be felt if he has quality forwards to feed the ball to – take Chelsea’s title winning campaign for example in which combined superbly with Diego Costa and Eden Hazard and topped the charts with 18 assists.
But put the Spaniard in a side full of strikers that are yet to nick a goal, and you’ll have a frustrated midfielder contemplating leaving when the next window opens up, in a similar vein as Payet at the moment.
It remains to be seen whether Fabregas will make the switch to West Ham, but if he does, Bilic will have to look at bringing in a quality forward capable of complimenting his masterclass in the middle of the park.
