West Ham United have been linked with a move for former Manchester United and Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, and the Portuguese tactician could be set to make a sensational return to the Premier League. With the Hammers reportedly interested in signing Juventus forward Paulo Dybala, here’s how West Ham could line up under Mourinho with the Argentine among four stunning transfers.
In goal, West Ham could look to sign AC Milan’s Gianluigi Donnarumma. The 21-year-old is one of the most highly-rated goalkeepers in Europe and would be a huge upgrade on current number one Lukasz Fabianski. Donnarumma has been linked with a move away from Milan and could be tempted by the prospect of working with Mourinho.
At the back, West Ham could look to sign two of the Premier League’s best defenders in Toby Alderweireld and Virgil van Dijk. Alderweireld has been linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur and could be tempted by the prospect of working with Mourinho. Van Dijk, meanwhile, is one of the best defenders in the world and would be a huge upgrade on the Hammers’ current centre-back options.
In midfield, West Ham could look to sign two of the Premier League’s best players in Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante. Pogba has been linked with a move away from Manchester United and could be tempted by the prospect of working with Mourinho. Kante, meanwhile, is one of the best midfielders in the world and would be a huge upgrade on the Hammers’ current midfield options.
Up front, West Ham could look to sign Paulo Dybala from Juventus. The Argentine forward has been linked with a move away from the Italian giants and could be tempted by the prospect of working with Mourinho. Dybala is one of the best forwards in the world and would be a huge upgrade on the Hammers’ current attacking options.
This is how West Ham could line up under Mourinho with Dybala among four stunning transfers:
GK: Gianluigi Donnarumma
RB: Ryan Fredericks
CB: Toby Alderweireld
CB: Virgil van Dijk
LB: Aaron Cresswell
CM: Paul Pogba
CM: N’Golo Kante
RM: Felipe Anderson
LM: Andriy Yarmolenko
ST: Paulo Dybala
ST: Sebastien Haller
This team would be a huge upgrade on the current West Ham side and could be a real force in the Premier League. With Mourinho at the helm and Dybala leading the line, the Hammers could be set for a successful season.
