Sky Sports has delivered a huge 10 player West Ham transfer update in the wake of worrying claims from inside the club.
The summer transfer window officially opened for domestic deals on June 15th and for all transfers from July 1st but West Ham are yet to make a single signing for their first team.
That’s despite the departure of Hammers talisman and captain Declan Rice as well as Manuel Lanzini.
West Ham have £105m burning a hole in their pockets – which actually translates to a transfer budget in the region of £133m – here’s how.
And that figure will be added to with the expected departures of Nikola Vlasic and Aaron Cresswell further boosting the kitty by around £15m. Gianluca Scamacca and Michail Antonio are also being linked with West Ham exits.
A reported £14-15m of it will go on the club’s first arrival with Man City youngster Carlos Borges now said to be close to joining this week.
Sky Sports delivers huge 10 player West Ham transfer update in the wake of worrying claims from inside the club
We reported on tragic claims from a site with connections to Hammers majority owner David Sullivan at the weekend stating the club were not remotely close to signing any other players.
The same source doubled down on that depressing situation yesterday.
It has raised serious concerns among supporters with the new season now less than three weeks away. Especially given West Ham flirted with relegation for most of the last campaign. And that was WITH Rice in the side.
There may be a glimmer of hope of some activity on the horizon, though.
Because Sky Sports has delivered a huge 10 player West Ham transfer update in the wake of worrying claims from inside the club.
Sky Sports News ran a mammoth ticker tape West Ham update on Monday evening. And all but one of the 10 players mentioned were stars the Hammers are said to be interested in with just one departure on the list.
Hope on the horizon for Hammers or is it all talk with no action?
“West Ham to decide whether to make an improved bid for Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha,” Sky Sports News reported at 5.06pm.
“West Ham had a £45m bid rejected earlier this month and there is a gap in valuation between the clubs. Any potential deal could be hampered after Palhinha suffered a suspected dislocated shoulder on Sunday.
“West Ham expected to push to sign Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse. West Ham in talks to sign Denis Zakaria from Juventus and are looking to sign Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher. Interested in Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana and remain keen on Man United’s Scott McTominay.
“West Ham have an agreement in principle with Man City for forward Carlos Borges for around £14m. West Ham want to strengthen in central defence with Man United’s Harry Maguire the priority target. The club are exploring a loan and permanent deal for Maguire with Jonathan Tah also a player of interest.
“West Ham also in talks with Saudi side Al-Ettifaq over potential sale of striker Michail Antonio.”
