West Ham United have emerged as one of the busiest clubs at the start of the January transfer window, but sources suggest uncertainty remains over the future of head coach Nuno Espirito Santo.

The Hammers are currently battling near the bottom of the Premier League table and are attempting to revive their season through activity in the transfer market.

West Ham have already allowed Niclas Fullkrug to join AC Milan and are moving quickly to reinforce their attack, with Lazio striker Taty Castellanos and Gil Vicente forward Pablo joining as replacements.

Further additions are also being explored as Fulham winger Adama Traore and Toulouse defender Charlie Cresswell are among the club’s targets in the coming days.

While the club’s transfer activity signals clear intent, uncertainty could deepen if results fail to improve.

Sources indicate growing concern within the club over performances on the pitch - and we understand Nuno Espirito Santo’s position could come under threat should West Ham lose their next Premier League fixture.

Insiders say a defeat at Wolves has the potential to be damaging. The Midlands side, Santo’s former club, are yet to win a league match this season - and anything less than a positive result could prove decisive.

As we head into the second half of the season, West Ham face a crucial period.

Bold decisions may be required, and the board must decide whether they can continue to place their trust in the manager at a time when stability is urgently needed, and new recruits are being signed up.
