Hammers linked with yet another midfielder

The Guardian have linked West Ham with yet another midfielder on transfer deadline day.

The broadsheet claim West Ham have been asked ‘to be kept informed’ with Palace’s interest in Genoa’s Tomás Rincón.

The report says: “(Palace) remain in the market for a central midfielder, with negotiations ongoing for Genoa’s Tomás Rincón. West Bromwich Albion, Sunderland and West Ham have all been asked to be kept abreast over developments after the Italian club received an offer from Palace worth around £6.8m.”

Quite why we would make a move for yet another midfielder remains a mystery to us at ClaretandHugh, we all know Bilic likes his midfielders but we understand a right back is the main priority. We give this deadline transfer rumour the lowest rating possible.
