West Ham United are in reportedly talks with Adnan Januzaj as the former Belgian international waits on the London club’s final decision.
According to Fabrizio Romano, West Ham United are discussing a move for Adnan Januzaj. The Belgian attacker is available as a free agent and is waiting for the Hammers’ decision to sign him. Other Premier League sides are interested in the former Real Sociedad winger, who remains keen on returning to England.
West Ham United are making waves late in the transfer window as David Moyes plots significant moves before deadline day. After a disastrous start to the season, West Ham need quality reinforcements to boost their squad, and a few moves are inching closer to completion.
All eyes are on the Lucas Paqueta deal as West Ham reached an agreement with Lyon for the Brazilian midfielder. Once that move is concluded, the Hammers could look to finalise further arrivals of players like Hans Vanaken and even former Manchester United star Adnan Januzaj.
The Belgian international is a free agent after leaving Real Sociedad at the end of last season when his contract expired. Januzaj has kept himself fit by training alongside specialists throughout the summer as he hoped for a big move.

So far, things have not looked up for Januzaj, who is excited by the prospect of returning to the Premier League. Everton were reportedly keen on bringing him. Januzaj was seemingly open to joining Everton. But West Ham have lately shown an interest in signing him. The 27-year-old is a good prospect, and considering his availability on a free transfer, Moyes has been looking into bringing his former protege.
Moyes and Januzaj enjoyed a brief spell together at Manchester United, with the Scottish manager giving the Belgian international his breakthrough in English football. Since both their departures, Januzaj has done considerably well in Spain.
For now, West Ham United are discussing Januzaj internally, as the player remains open to joining them. The Belgian international awaits the club’s decision as the transfer deadline looms large. West Ham could wait longer, considering free transfers could still be completed beyond the end of the month.
They have certainly discussed terms with the 27-year-old’s representatives and could ponder signing the Belgian international to improve their quad depth before the window shuts. For now, a decision is expected soon enough, and Januzaj could get his move to England. Everton could also be alert and pounce again if West Ham’s move is stalled.
