West Ham to sign up to five more players

West Ham still plans to buy three to five more players after officially announcing their third signing of the Summer transfer window this morning.

Claret and Hugh have learned this morning there are some doubts whether Alfie Mawson and Felipe Anderson will join West Ham.

But the recruitment team are still working hard on multiple targets following the signing of Ryan Fredericks, Issa Diop and Lukasz Fabianski.

A senior club insider told Claret and Hugh this morning “We have lots of targets that are not on media radar. We expect to buy 3-5 more players this summer”

C&H understand that the manager still wants to prioritise another centre-back, two midfielders and a goalkeeper.

A striker is less of a priority we have been told but has not been ruled out completely.

The Hammers are looking to keep within a net spend of £70m this summer which could also see some outbound players as up to five additional players join the three new recruits.
