West Ham are working on two deals behind the scenes for players whose names have not yet figured prominently in the public domain.
C&H have spoken to top sources at the football club twice today, and the messaging has remained the same: “We’re working on multiple transfer deals.” However, the club has been incredibly coy this afternoon regarding specific players’ names, stating that they wish to keep some targets identities secret.
One can only assume those players do not include the likes of Wan-Bissaka and Jhon Duran, who were regularly briefed about by a top West Ham source as talks continued.
Understandably, high-ranking Hammers sources are concerned about the names of transfer targets slipping out when delicate transfer negotiations hang in the balance. Some leaked information that emerged last week has made the club double down on their efforts to keep transfer information secret until there is no chance a rival can scupper any Irons deals.
