The Hammers have not added any new players since the last campaign ended and their 2-0 loss to Newcastle United on the opening Premier League weekend did little to ease fans’ anger towards the club’s hierarchy. British media reported West Ham’s pursuit of centre back James Tarkowski is still alive ahead of the transfer window deadline on Oct. 5, but they have failed to meet Burnley’s asking price of at least 30 million pounds up front. Yet Moyes remains upbeat ahead of Saturday’s London derby against Arsenal. “We have an imbalance, we have an awful lot of wide players who can play upfront or midfield and less defenders to choose from. “We lost defenders Jeremy Ngakia, Pablo Zabaleta and Winston Reid (on loan) so we are short in those areas.”
