26-year-old goal machine: Three perfect midfielders West Ham must sign in Jan after Wilshere blow

Alex Pritchard

Alex Pritchard should be given a West Ham return after he left them at a young age in 2009.

The now Norwich City midfielder was in the Hammers youth set-up before opting to move across London to Tottenham.

After failing to get regular Premier League action and going on numerous loans, the midfielder has really showcased his potential since joining Norwich in 2016.

Last season, Pritchard made 35 appearances across all competitions for Norwich, scoring seven goals and grabbing 12 assists.

Pritchard returned to the side in November after ankle surgery kept him out of the first part of the season – and he’s hit the ground running.

While he is yet to get off the mark, he has been impressive in his cameo appearances, and was Norwich’s best player in his first start of the season against Leeds United last Saturday.

Once again, Moyes can take advantage of Pritchard’s early season injury to get a deal done quickly and for a good price.

Pritchard should be raring to go by January and will relish a return to West Ham and the Premier League.
