David Moyes has hinted that West Ham won’t be doing any more business between now and the end of the transfer window.

The Hammers have made seven first-team signings this season – Alphonse Areola, Nayef Aguerd, Flynn Downes, Gianluca Scamacca, Maxwel Cornet, Thilo Kehrer and Emerson Palmieri.

Moyes appears to be on the cusp of bringing Emerson Palmieri to the London Stadium in a £50 million deal as well, according to The Athletic.

There have been whispers that Moyes could still be after three more players as well – Armando Broja, Conor Gallagher and Adnan Januzaj.

It seems as though the Hammers’ business could well be done though…

David Moyes drops West Ham transfer business hint

With the signing of Paqueta now seemingly imminent, the mood in East London has reached fever pitch levels. It’s little wonder as to why – the Brazilian is an incredible talent.

But could there me more new arrivals on the way?

Moyes sat down to address the media this afternoon ahead of our clash with Aston villa on Sunday.

With West Ham seemingly on the cusp of completing our eighth major summer signing, Moyes responded when asked to deliver his verdict on the club’s summer transfer business, as quoted by Football.London:

“We brought in more than I wanted. We needed to try and move on, break up what we had. Trying to build another good team. Not sure we will do more.”

We can’t complain with Moyes having made eight solid signings. If West Ham are to challenge on all fronts this season though, we reckon we need one or two more.

The additions of Chelsea duo Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja would be sensational and would undoubtedly put us in the mix for the top six again.

That will be a big ask, of course it will. And most Hammers fans will agree that this has been a tremendous window so far.

The transfer business done by West Ham has been truly unbelievable. But could it get even better? We doubt that after Moyes’s comments in his presser this afternoon. We’re still hopeful of one or two more surprises though!
