Hammers hunt late signings

West Ham are still actively pursuing players as the season approaches but under the club’s new zipped mouth policy names are hard to come by.

However, Slav and the board are keen to bring in a couple of younger players with a senior source telling us: “You can’t keep signing players on which their is no upturn. We are on the look out.”

Whilst the manager is happy with his summer spend thus far, he and the board have regularly been discussing the prospect of bringing in at least two more players.

With several of our own academy defenders impressing and with Slav having ruled out another striker it seems the area we are looking at is midfield.

The manager, David Sullivan and Tony Henry have maintained an impressive wall of silence this summer on their transfer business but a lot of frenzied activity is taking place inside the club as they attempt to tie up deals with their latest targets.

Sullivan’s pedigree shows that he loves to do late deals in the summer window and it would be a big surprise if one or two players weren’t to arrive before deadline day.
