West Ham United are clearly still very active in the January transfer window.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taty Castellanos and Pablo Felipe have already arrived at West Ham in the January window<\/a>, but beleaguered boss Nuno Espirito Santo<\/a> definitely needs to get more bodies through the door at the London Stadium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

West Ham now seem to be focusing their January transfer window business<\/a> on strengthening their backline.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly what Nuno should be doing as well, with his side having conceded more goals than any other Premier League team this season.<\/p>\n

How many more signings do we need to make for you to feel confident about staying up?! \ud83e\udd14 <\/p>\n

Still an awful lot of work to do\u2026<\/p>\n

The Hammers need for a new centre-back is obvious to see.<\/p>\n

However, the addition of a top-class full-back seems to be high on Nuno\u2019s wish-list as well\u2026<\/p>\n

West Ham want Spain international in the January transfer window<\/p>\n

West Ham are fairly well-stocked in the right-back department right now, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Kyle Walker-Peters battling for a starting spot.<\/p>\n

However, would it be fair to argue that a more technically gifted right-back would make a big difference for the Hammers?<\/p>\n

It seems as though Nuno may be on that kind of wavelength.<\/p>\n

Spanish publication AS<\/a> claim that the Hammers are keen to bring Oscar Mingueza to the London Stadium this winter.<\/p>\n

It has previously been claimed that West Ham could face fierce competition for Mingueza\u2019s signature<\/a> from the likes of Newcastle and Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

Mingueza has a \u20ac20 million (\u00a317.5 million) release clause inserted into his current contract with Celta Vigo (Mundo Deportivo<\/a>).<\/p>\n

That sounds like incredibly good value for the 26-year-old, given his undeniable quality.<\/p>\n

Oscar Mingueza could take West Ham to another level<\/p>\n

He is a right-back by trade but can also operate as a centre-back or even as a right winger!<\/p>\n

Lucas Paqueta \u2018wants to leave West Ham\u2019 in the midst of a relegation battle \u2013 what\u2019s your reaction?! <\/p>\n

What was the point in this then? \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n

Mingueza has racked up one goal and two assists in 16 La Liga games for Celta Vigo this term.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old has averaged 1.6 tackles, 1.1 clearances and 1.3 dribbles per match throughout those appearances (Who Scored<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The technically gifted Spaniard, who has four international caps to his name, is a really progressive passer of the football and is extremely comfortable in possession.<\/p>\n

Mingueza would be a superb addition for West Ham in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

However, it remains to be seen whether the Hammers are able to win the race for his signature with so many clubs chasing the Celta Vigo ace.<\/p>\n
