West Ham youngster Callum Marshall has been announced as Premier League 2 Player of the Month for the second time this season and it will be attractive to see where he ends up between now and the end of the month, writes Malik Ouzia.
He has been in ridiculously smart form for the Under-21s all season and has already made his senior international debut for Northern Ireland. West Ham’s plan was to loan him out to play first-team football in the second part of the season.
That’s on hold though, amid their current injury crisis and I’m expecting him to be involved in some capacity at Bristol City in the FA Cup next week.
It is possible that he will still be on loan towards the end of the month, if Jarrod Bowen returns as temporarily as the club hopes and if he manages to sign another striker. However, I wonder if one or two decent appearances between now and then could prompt a change of plans.

There are a couple of reports around this morning suggesting that West Ham are keeping tabs on Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez, but it appears a summer move is more likely at this stage.
Gimenez, a Mexican teammate of Hammers midfielder Edson Alvarez, has been in prolific form for the Dutch this season, having scored 20 goals in 22 games in all competitions.
Feyenoord boss Arne Slot ruled out a sale in January when asked last month about the 22-year-old’s long career, but indicated it would take a really extensive offer to convince the club to sell before the summer.
West Ham are in the market for attacking reinforcements following injuries to Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio, but their budget is tight unless marginal players are sold and they would prefer to wait until the summer to make significant investments in the centre-forward. In particular.
David Moyes’s priority is still to sign another wide player, which would give him more freedom to use both Paqueta and Bowen centrally, and Ajax’s Steven Bergwijn and Sunderland’s Jack Clarke remain key targets.

The Addicks have beaten the festival of several League One rivals, Sheffield Wednesday, to sign the Hammers academy graduate for an undisclosed fee.
Coventry were part of West Ham more than five years ago but have struggled to make a breakthrough, spending most of their time since then on loan and betting just ten times for the first team.
The 23-year-old enjoyed a promising spell in the Championship with Rotherham during the second half of last season but has not featured under David Moyes since returning to east London and was due to be out of contract this summer.

Sunderland are understandably keen to keep hold of Clarke for the second half of the season, but a bid north of around £20million could prompt serious consideration.

Newcastle boss Darren Eales has warned enthusiasts that a star player could be sold due to the Premier League’s Sustainability Rules (PSR), with the team reporting a loss of £73. 4 million in their latest monetary results.
Newcastle, who in October 2021 were acquired by a group led by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, also reported an increase in revenues to 250.3 million pounds from 180 million pounds for the year ending June 30, 2023.
Asked if the more sensible players – Alexander Isak, Sven Botman or Bruno Guimaraes – could be sold, Eales told reporters: “For any player, at any time, it depends on the circumstances.
“It’s hard to speculate, but if we’re presented with a £1 billion for one of those players, then no one will be able to argue that it makes sense.
“Any resolution we make will be in the context of medium and long-term benefits for the club. If we want to get where we want to go, it’s rarely mandatory to sign our players.
“It’s contradictory and part of the inherent formula of the PSR that it’s an incentive to attract their players if they need to reinvest, because of the nature of the caps. “

In signing Yunus Emre Konak, Brentford have beaten a number of Europe’s biggest clubs to the signing of a player many in Turkey see as their country’s brightest young player.
Konak’s deal with Brentford ended on Wednesday, his 18th birthday, after immediate preparation.
A league champion with Sivasspor Under-17s, he was playing for Turkey Under-18s in September. By October, he was with their Under-21s.
It’s also fitting that the defensive midfielder hails from Batman’s hometown, given the number of times he has come to Sivasspor’s rescue since making his first-team debut in August.
Only six players in the entire Turkish Super Lig have made more interceptions than Konak this season, and eight have earned more tackles.
