Thirteen players in as West Ham invest £60m

West Ham have invested a record £60m in the summer transfer window to bring in thirteen players. (Image by @WestHamSocial) The Hammers have spent £35m more in transfer dealings this summer than for the whole of last season’s transfer dealings!

ClaretandHugh believe the Hammers have committed to shelling out a total of £70m in this transfer window comprising of Zaza (£4.2m loan fee+ £17m transfer fee), Fernandes £5.44m, Ayew £20.5m, Masuaku £6.2m, Lanzini (including add-ons) £10.2m, Tore £2.55m (loan fee), Martinez £2.55m and Calleri (loan fee) £850,000.

The remaining five signings were signed on free transfers but often with massive agent fees and large wages.

The five are Sofiane Feghouli, Ashley Fletcher, Havard Nordtveit, Alvaro Arbeloa and Domingos Quina.

When you subtract the £10m we received for James Tomkins our net spend on transfers reaches the £60m figure quoted by Gold and Brady. Last season we shelled out nearly £44m in transfer feeds but crucially we received nearly £20m back for outgoing players making our actual net spend just under £25m.
