Board waits for Slav’s summer target list

West Ham’s board will await Slaven Bilic’s summer shopping list before making any moves into the transfer market.

Despite admitting having a list of  around a dozen possible striker targets the manager is expected to soon supply his priority list.

David Sullivan has admitted he likes Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a talkSport interview and Christian Benteke is known to be another player the chairman admires.

But it’s not until Slaven gives the word that any meaningful moves will be made as has always been the case with the club’s managers.

Discussing the various names that have been thrown into the ring last night co-chairman David Gold said: ” There is no problem discussing the various names but it’s all about Slaven and what he decides. We are still waiting to see his priority list.

“The board will await that and take things from there as has always been the case. There is no rush and we will see what Slaven requires and go from there. “The manager is obviously the key person in this process.”
