According to club sources, West Ham is in advanced talks for Aaron Wan Bissaka, Niclas Fullkrug and Crysencio Summerville.
The Hammers have claimed to have reached an agreement in principle for the Manchester United right-back but personal terms may still be an issue due to the player’s wage demands and he could demand compensation from his current club as a parting bonus instead of the signing on fee he could earn next summer as a free agent. The 26-year-old defender earns more than £90,000 per week at the Manchester Club.
Talks are also in an advanced stage with Borussia Dortmund over 31-year-old striker Niclas Fullkrug who scored 15 goals last season. The player is a strange option considering that the Hammers have a 34-year-old striker in Michail Antonio and a 32 -32-year-old striker in Danny Ings but the advanced talks could suggest that one of them will be leaving, or it is a ploy to force Aston Villa to drop their price for Jhon Duran before it’s too late.
Leeds United are said to value Crysencio Summerville at £40m with West Ham reportedly only willing to pay £20m but perhaps some compromise can be reached with a lower transfer fee with performance-related add-ons and a sell-on clause.
I disagree with Gonzo when he talks about Fullkrug representing a betrayal of West Hams master plan due to his age. The plan is about a trend, lowering the average age, an approach to building a team capable of making a statement and then evolving. Given the rejections and hijacks of initial targets, Fullkrug would buy WHU a couple of years to find or develop a longer term candidate. Meanwhile, if we can add AWB and another central/left back, things are starting to look a bit tasty, which is not the picture I had a couple of days ago. If they persist with Duran, there is no guarantee he won’t throw another temper tantrum and walk in a year or two. I could watch Bowen, Kudus, Fullkrug, Paquetta and Summerville develop an understanding.
I don’t believe it at all, can you seriously believe sullivan has opened his wallet, moths will fly but i dont see any moths anywhere. Wanbissaka another long drawn out signing man utd don’t want him no one else is in for him so what’s the delay.
He wants a leaving payment from the mancs cos he won’t get a big sign up payment next year when he’d be a free agent
Shows his attitude more about money than playing time .
isn’t it horrible for you when we sign players? it totally interferes with your tedious narrative about Sullivan. i mean, what do you have to whinge about then? you and deathblow should get a flat together and spit your bile at each other for as long as you like
did make me laugh…
Fabrizio has here we go-d it in the last hour for Summerville
According to Ex the deal is done and a medical is booked for Sunmerville

Club sources? It’s on sky sports news.
You are able to comment on other people’s comments bud
Here we go again! More agent nonsense! I’m sick of reading about all these players we’re meant to of signed, finding it really boring/tedious. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story? I use to look forward to getting on C&H after work to catch up on the news, now it’s just nonsense and speculation every day. Unless they’ve had a medical or do a welcome photo session can you try just reporting on actual news? Might as well follow the BBC. We’ve even got fans from Leeds getting on here to take the mic out of us? Also on that note can you add a feature where we can comment on other people’s comments? Maybe reduce the adverts as well to just a 100 a day?
Let’s hope we actually sign a striker that isn’t 30+ and total waste of time. Stressful being a Hammer ⚒️⚒️⚒️
Is this your first transfer window???????? lol
That aged well
We’ve gotten a “here we go” and a medical booked
Well I pray your right and they all come of Sean….strange leaking the Leeds lads transfer though …why keep that secret all this time ..then let it out just before, he “maybe” signs ? …
