West Ham United will be very busy in the transfer market between now and 11pm on deadline day.
Julen Lopetegui has overseen a fabulous transfer window so far at West Ham, but the Spaniard is far from finished, and has admitted himself that he wants more.

It has already been well-documented that the Hammers head coach needs to move on some of the fringe players first, in order to make more signings.
With deadline day fast approaching, West Ham need to act fast when it comes to shifting the deadwood.
That will be easier said than done, with only 36 hours remaining before the summer transfer window slams shut.
However, there is one player in particular who the Hammers shouldn’t have any trouble whatsoever shifting.
11-cap international could leave West Ham on deadline day
With Lopetegui so keen to generate some funds late on in the window, there will surely be at least two outgoings before tomorrow’s 11pm deadline.
And one player in particular should be able to raise some decent cash for the Spaniard.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Southampton are keen to bring James Ward-Prowse back to St Mary’s before the transfer window slams shut.
It has been claimed that West Ham are keen to sell midfielder James Ward-Prowse for £25 million before 11pm on Friday night.
If the Hammers are able to do that, it will free up some cash and salary space for Lopetegui to bring in someone like Carlos Soler.
The PSG star is exactly the type of player we’re missing in midfield right now, what with his exceptional technical ability and composure when in possession of the football.
Moving on JWP will be crucial to our hopes of signing the Spain international.
The 11-capped England international just doesn’t offer us anything aside from set-pieces as far as I’m concerned, and if we manage to get £25 million for him it will be a huge result.
Despite plenty of assists direct from corners, the former Southampton man has been labelled as a one-trick pony, because of his lack of influence on the game outside of set-pieces.
He just doesn’t put himself about enough, and his lack of physicality really inhibits West Ham team in the engine room when he starts for us.
It’s time for West Ham to sell James Ward-Prowse before the summer transfer window closes, and judging by the latest reports, we have a good chance of doing exactly that on deadline day.
