Hammers could sign four by Friday

A report in the Daily Mirror transfer update has suggested West Ham could sign four more  players by Friday when the transfer window slams shut.

Including the imminent announcement of 24-year-old Slavia Prague midfielder Tomas Soucek as early as today the report claims the Hammers are hoping to sign at least three more players before Friday’s January transfer deadline day.

They suggest manager  David Moyes could make late loan swoops for Chelsea duo Oliver Giroud and Ross Barkley to test Frank Lampard’s and Chelsea’s resolve.

They also says the Irons will hope to sign a right back but it looks like Spurs defender Kyle Walker-Peters will now choose Southampton over West Ham.  The Hammers also had a bid for RB Salzburg’s right back Rasmus Kristensen rejected yesterday but have made enquires about a number of young right backs across Europe as the clock ticks down to the end of the January Transfer window.
