In January, West Ham United might only have to pay £21 million for a swap deal with Wolves, which would be the best deal of the century for us.
If David Moyes is serious about moving his team up a level, West Ham ought to be looking to trade players with Wolves during the January transfer window.
With the exception of two positions on the field, center forward and full back, the Hammers are extremely strong across the board.
And Moyes can take a big step toward resolving the latter problem in January by bringing in Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolves and sending Aaron Cresswell in the other direction. The 33-year-old was rumored to be heading to Molineux for £4 million in the summer, but he ultimately decided to stay at the London Stadium.
The Sun, meanwhile, reported that Wolves might ask for about £25 million in exchange for the 22-year-old speed merchant.
That means that if we send Aaron Cresswell to the Black Country, West Ham could theoretically sign the Algerian international for £21 million. It really is a no-brainer.
Swap deal with Wolves could cost West Ham just £21m and it’d be bargain of the decade
Ait-Nouri excels as a left back. Since he is only 22 years old, he will only get better, and he will give Emerson Palmieri serious competition.
The Algerian has averaged 2.5 tackles, one interception, 1.3 clearances, and 1.4 dribbles per game in his 11 Premier League appearances for Wolves this season (Who Scored).
He is an incredibly skilled tackler and has absolutely lightning-fast speed.
Ait-Nouri would be a huge improvement over Cresswell, and the team would benefit greatly from having real competition at left-back.
The departments of center forward and right back would then be the only ones in need of attention!
For the Hammers, a trade involving Wolves star Air-Nouri and West Ham defender Aaron Cresswell would be very beneficial. It is unclear, though, if Wolves would accept £21 million plus Cresswell in exchange for the Algerian international.
