The clock is ticking down on transfer deadline day and West Ham are still yet to add to the signings of Vladamir Coufal and Tomas Soucek as things stand.

But could there be any exciting signings on the horizon for the Hammers?

Here’s some of the rumours reported over the past few hours…

West Ham could imminently be set to bid for Racing Club attacking midfielder Matias Zaracho (La Noche De Racing).

Porto want to sign Felipe Anderson on loan (talkSPORT).

The Hammers are in a straight transfer deadline day battle with Fulham for highly-rated Manchester City starlet Tosin Adarabioyo (MEN journalist Simon Bajkowski).

In what will be music to Hammers fans’ ears, Chelsea have ended their interest in Declan Rice after refusing to meet West Ham’s £80 million valuation (Football.London).

Blues defender Antonio Rudiger has turned down a move to the London Stadium (BBC journalist Simon Stone).

Sky Sports News reporter Aidan Magee has suggested that there is ‘little chance’ we will sign anyone today.

And finally West Ham have been linked with a late move to sign Mainz centre-back Moussa Niakhate (Sky Germany reporter Alexander Bonengel).

Let’s hope there is some more positive news later. Although we won’t be banking on it.
