The winger has scored 54 goals in 131 appearances for the Tigers already. He has the one quality Moyes has been searching for this whole transfer window. He has made it known that goals from all over the pitch is the aim, giving them unlimited outlets.
The Hammers recently endured the toughest fixture the Premier League has to offer but didn’t really do too bad, considering the scoreline was only 2-0 to the Reds. However, they were totally outmatched and a goal never came during 90 minutes of football.
In fact, it has been so poor for Moyes and the Hammers, they have only scored two goals in five games across all competitions. Jarrod’s 54 goals will absolutely have a positive effect on the London side.
