Another unlikely midfield target!

download (2)West Ham are this morning being wrongly linked with yet another midfielder!

This time it is the Slaven Bilic-managed Besiktas 31 year old Atiba Hutchinson who has been catching the eye across Europe despite his advancing years.

The story has arisen in the national newspapers and he becomes one of a number with who we have been linked despite the club having more cover in that position than any other.

Cameroon international Jean Makoun  was the last to be on his way and earlier there wasPedro Obiang (Sampdoria) and going further back a teenage Argentinian “sensation” supposedly interested us.

All were denied and all died a death and given there are no wages left in the pot until someone leaves it seems the silly season may have opened a tad early.
