Transfer market update: Every Irons rumour rated

There is so much fake West Ham transfer news doing the rounds that this morning decided to give the very latest round up on it all as we have learned from inside the club.

 

Jack Butland: Inquiries made but things on hold until England’s World Cup destiny sorted.

 

Felipe Anderson: Wages are not a problem which will be sorted at around £80k a week. However, the clubs are still haggling over a fee. Hopes remain high inside the club this will be done.

Lukasz Fabianski: Understood to be virtually completed and announcement on the way

 

Issa Diop: Has come into the frame over the last few days with some reports  saying we are close to a deal. The reality is talks are ongoing and at a relatively early stage.

Marlon Santos: Early interest has waned in the Barcelona central defender.

Ya Ya Toure: Everything we hear says the 35 year old is a non starter for us.

Alfie Mawson: Talks continuing with the Hammers seeing him as a priority player. With a history of transfer dealings with the Swans behind us this looks set  to get done at around £25m.

Anthony Martial: Only a year left at Man United but reported as wanting out. Possible but unlikely

Chris Smalling: Ditto above

Jack Wilshere: The transfer market hardy annual as far as the Irons are concerned. Very unlikely.

James Maddison: Cooked up by the media following rumours in December. Not likely

Jack Grealish: The Villa playmaker looks certain to move from crisis club Villa amid interest from ourselves and Sp..s. Would be a great signing but we are bound to face a huge battle.
