Manuel Pellegrini’s hinted on Saturday that the club’s summer sending may not be quite over.And details emerging from the French media may well confirm the story we ran last week that Marcus Brown’s departure has opened the way for a new arrival when a source suggested the possibility explaining: “We have one squad space and might now look to fund a player. “    https://www.claretandhugh.info/irons-juggle-finances-in-bid-to-add-squad-player/According to Get French Football News, West Ham are in ‘concrete talks’ with free agent Bilel Hassaini which is in line with our story that any possible arrival would be a younger player.

And should Hassaini be the object of Pellegrini’s attentions, only wages will be involved as the  18-year-old winger is available on a Bosman after his contract with Nancy expired.

GFFN added that Hassaini was set to join PSG earlier this summer, but the transfer collapsed after a change in sporting directors.

The teenager has represented France’s under 16s on 15 occasions and the under 17s on 11. He operates essentially as a right winger despite favouring his left foot

A number of English clubs have been tracking him including Arsenal but it is now being suggested the Hammers are in pole position to sign the player.

Either way, Pellegrini’s hint that another arrival could be on the way ensures that at the very least the guessing games could continue right up to deadline day.
