TBR View: Brahim could be exciting addition to Moyes’s ranks

Brahim has probably not played as much as he would have liked this season. But there is no question that he is an incredibly exciting talent with a bright future ahead.

It says a lot that Real were willing to pay an initial £15.5 million to sign him from Manchester City last year (via ).

West Ham do boast a lot of quality in that area of the field. However, the likes of Manuel Lanzini and Felipe Anderson have not managed to make a huge impact this term.

The pair have provided six league assists between them. However, they have also contributed just one goal in the top flight.

Signing Brahim could therefore be an exciting step forward for the Irons should they manage to convince Madrid to sanction a loan move to the London Stadium.
