West Ham United manager David Moyes appears to be moving closer to signing a new contract at the London Stadium, with the recent appointment of his son, David Junior, as a scout for the club.
According to journalist Alan Nixon, Moyes’ decision to bring his son on board is indicative of his intention to extend his stay with the Hammers beyond the current season.
Moyes, who is in the final months of his existing deal with West Ham, has been the subject of ongoing speculation regarding his long-term future at the club. The 60-year-old had previously confirmed that he received a new contract offer but emphasized that he would make a final decision at the end of the season.
The appointment of Moyes’ son as a scout suggests that the manager is already planning for the upcoming summer transfer window, analyzing and identifying potential targets.
This strategic move aligns with the notion that Moyes is looking ahead to the next season, a scenario that would only unfold if he remains in charge.
The development is likely to generate mixed reactions among West Ham supporters, as Moyes has been a polarizing figure during his tenure at the London Stadium.
The club’s fans will be eager for official confirmation from West Ham regarding Moyes’ contract situation, providing clarity on the manager’s future and the direction the club aims to take.
