Gold: West Ham to sign 7-8 players this summer

West Ham co-chairman, David Gold told 100 guests at Top Meadow Golf Club in Upminster last night that West Ham would most likely sell or move on 7-8 players this summer transfer window but would look to sign 7-8 players to replace them.

Gold was speaking at the Essex event arranged by a West ham fan called Dan in which Hammers Tony Gale and Phil Parkes were also guest speakers.

Gold tweeted last night “Just returned home from a great evening at Top Meadow Golf Club hosted by west ham fan Dan. Speakers Tony Gale and Phil Parks were great.dg”

One of the guests, a West ham season ticket holder called Russell Pedrick posted “David Gold says West Ham will sign 7-8 and sell 7-8 players this summer.”

Russell told Claret and Hugh exclusively  “Gold praised Slaven multiple times during his talk,  he also talked about how the Man Utd  coach should have got to the ground early. Generally he spoke very well and got a good reception from the 100 or so in the room. He was very insistent though that we would be aggressive in the market and buy the best available”

Russell added that “Tony Gale said Kouyate was his player of the season while Phil Parkes chose Antonio as his player of the season”
