Just like the summer transfer window, West Ham United are expected to be active in the January transfer window to make changes to their squad.
They are currently struggling in the bottom half of the Premier League table and most of their summer signings have failed to make an impact at the club.
In order to turn the season around for the Hammers, manager Julen Lopetegui is ready to make moves in the winter transfer window and has already identified his targets.
Despite signing Max Kilman, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jean-Clair Todibo in the summer, the Hammers are looking to add more defenders to their squad.
One of the players being targeted this month is Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney, who is expected to leave the Gunners soon.
A report from TBR Soccer has claimed that West Ham have expressed an interest in Tierney.
The Hammers have made inquiries about the Arsenal outcast, but the Scotland international has made it clear he prefers to return to Celtic.
Tierney is reportedly in pre-contract talks with Celtic as his current contract with Arsenal expires at the end of this season.
The Arsenal defender has rejected a move to West Ham
Since his £25m move from Celtic to Arsenal in August 2019, Tierney has had a mixed experience.
While he impressed during his first season at the club, he has struggled with fitness issues for much of his time at the North London club.
The defender was sent out on loan to Real Sociedad where he regained his form and fitness and now that could see him land a move from Arsenal back to former club Celtic.
The defender has collapsed at Arsenal with manager Mikel Arteta now favoring Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori.
West Ham could offer Tierney the chance to stay in the Premier League, but he has decided to return home.
