Hammers five new players for £105m
By Sean Whetstone
West Ham could purchase up to five players with the proceeds of the sale of Declan Rice for £105m per Six Foot Two – West Ham Magazine site (6ft2.co,uk)
Although Leicester City are asking up to £50m for Harvey Barnes it is reported the player could be sold for around £35m
Fulham have quoted a ridiculous price of £90m for João Palhinha to replace Declan Rice position, the West London side purchased the player for £20m last season so a £35m sale would be a reasonable return for the Cottagers.
The Hammers are on the lookout for a right back with likelihood of Ben Johnson leaving and Norwich City’s Max Aaarons should be available for £15m.
With Tomas Soucek another potential departure another defensive midfield target is Denis Zakaria who could also be available for £15 million.
Finally West Ham could move for Sunderland centre back cover Denis Ballard for £5m giving them a double your money reward for the £2m they paid Arsenal last July.
