Transfer rumour roundup

It has been an interesting twenty hours as the foreign and British media indulge in speculation about West Ham transfer targets.

Multiple media outlets in France claimed last night that “Diop will undergo a medical at West Ham ahead of a £21.9m move from French club Toulouse” This has since been repeated by Sky Sports today.

At the same time competing reports claim that Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla have come in late for Diop to spoil the Hammers party.

On Felipe Anderson, social media circles became all of a flutter last night when his brother Julian Anderson started following West Ham’s official Instagram account. Meanwhile, The Daily Mirror says West Ham have been told they must meet Lazio’s £35million valuation of Felipe Anderson in full to land the Brazilian winger.

Italian journalist Gianluca DiMarzio claims today that West Ham transfer target Javier Pastore’s agent has flown to Rome to negotiate a deal with Roma to take his client to Italy for 25 million Euros. Just 24 hours earlier Sky claimed that talks were in an ‘advanced stage’.

Claret and Hugh have been told this morning by a club insider: “There is always a lot of talk around West Ham, a lot of it is premature!”
