ITK @EXWHUEmployee has given his weekly transfer news on radio show Phoenix FM last night.

Ex claims that West Ham has a number of central defender targets which include Craig Dawson, Yerry Mina, Jannik Vestergaard, Adil Rami and Aymen Abdennour.

He said Jack Wilshere has held talks with Manuel Pellegrini & Mario Husillos. West Ham offered him £80,000 per week, compared to £130,000 per week from other clubs, but he is desperate to be a Hammer. There is a real belief that we can seal a deal for him he adds.

West Ham have been monitoring Huddersfield midfielder Aaron Mooy and there is a chance that a deal could happen. Derby youngster Luke Thomas is back on the radar for the Academy squad.

West Ham are once again interested in signing William Carvalho and have also submitted an offer for Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes.

The Irons have identified Bernard, Rafinha and Florian Thauvin as potential alternatives to Felipe Anderson. The Hammers are also interested in Lyon winger Memphis Depay, who is keen on returning to the Premier League.

Manuel Pellegrini still wants to sign Felipe Anderson, but he is starting to accept the fact that Lazio is messing us around with the price tag. As it stands, the deal is currently off!

Declan Rice and Robert Snodgrass are thought to have impressed new manager Manuel Pellegrini in the opening few days of pre-season in Switzerland.

West Ham have been offered to re-sign one of their former players for more than which they were sold for. The Hammers reportedly rejected the opportunity and the deal is dead. Although not named on the radio show social media was in meltdown suggesting it could, in fact, be Dimitri Payet.
