There could still be plenty of incomings and outgoings at West Ham before the summer transfer window slams shut.

However, West Ham head coach Julen Lopetegui has been told that he must shift some of the deadwood first in the summer transfer window, before he can make that happen.

If the Hammers boss manages to move on some players before deadline day, he will then be able to bring in one or two more new signings, just as he said he’s desperate to do.

The summer transfer window has been a spectacular one for West Ham so far, with eight top-class players arriving at the London Stadium.

Six players have left the club, and sources inside the London Stadium have suggested that Tim Steidten is currently working on two more new signings.

These are incredibly exciting times to be a West Ham United fan.

However, things could get even better for us over the course of the next few days, if the club manage to raise some funds by moving on some of the fringe players who quite simply aren’t good enough.

24-yo could leave West Ham before summer transfer window closes

The West Ham owners are desperately trying to raise some cash before Friday’s 11pm deadline, so that they can provide Lopetegui with extra funds.

I’m sure there will be plenty of activity over the course of the next five days.

However, one player who had high hopes at the start of pre-season seemingly now faces a London Stadium exit.

Andy Irving is on the chopping block according to one of David Sullivan’s confidants Claret and Hugh.

It is suggested that the impending arrival of Carlos Soler could see the 24-year-old on the hunt for a new club.

Interestingly, Andy Irving has been linked with a move to Atalanta this summer already.

And the Scot’s future with West Ham now looks bleak, with his days at the London Stadium seemingly numbered.

Andy Irving’s West Ham dream short lived

Last season, the 24-year-old midfielder suggested that it was his dream to play for West Ham in the Premier League.

That seemed a little far fetched at the time, but Lopetegui gave the Scot plenty of chances to shine during the friendly games this summer.

West Ham midfielder James Ward-Prowse recently admitted that he has been really impressed by Irving during pre-season.

He actually looked decent at times, and even scored a wonder goal during our win away at Dagenham back in July.

However, if we’re all being honest here, he’s a long way off of the levels required to play Premier League football.

If West Ham manage to sell Andy Irving before the summer transfer window closes, Lopetegui should be in a strong position to make further reinforcements.
