‘Sergio Ramos to West Ham’ quips football account with nearly 650k followers
The summer transfer window has not even been open two weeks but already some West Ham fans are getting edgy about signings.
West Ham need to sign at least four players in key positions – up front, attacking midfield, central midfield and central defence.
Lingard doubts and rivals making quality moves is putting some West Ham fans on edge
It is hoped a deal can be struck with Man United for Jesse Lingard to cross one of those off the list. But reports of late have cast doubt on West Ham’s chances.
West Ham fans want to see the club build on a brilliant season.
And Moyes knows he needs a bigger squad to cope with the added demands of Europa League football.
Watching as direct rivals like Leicester City and Aston Villa complete impressive signings nice and early is adding to the anxiety of some West Ham fans.
Even Brighton are already making big moves to improve their squad.
Daka added to the list of ones that got away for Moyes?
Yesterday respected Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano claimed Leicester have won the race to sign jet-heeled West Ham target Patson Daka.
Having already apparently beaten the Hammers to the signing of Odsonne Edouard, the news was a bitter pill to swallow for fans.
But West Ham insider ExWHUemployee has offered supporters hope with a fresh transfer update on Friday.
Speaking on Twitter, Ex said he hopes ‘top signings’ will soon follow the arrival of academy acquisitions Thierry Nevers and Pierre Ekwah Elimby.
“Unfortunately a lot of the players we are keen on are currently awaiting other transfers to happen (domino effect) before they are allowed to go with the Euros being on it means players are occupied etc,” ExWHUemployee said on Twitter.
‘Fingers crossed top signings to follow’
“I know (they are) only youngsters but we have brought two in. (Fingers crossed) top ones to follow.
“Targets being finalised now and we have clear ones that we want. I’ve reported them for weeks. Just now a case of seeing what happens. I wish things happened sooner like other clubs but there is still (at this point) plenty of time.”
ExWHUemployee then took to The West Ham Way patreon site to expand on his update and backed up Romano’s claims that Daka is on his way to Leicester.
“At the moment it appears transfers are not that close due to a domino effect,” Ex reiterated on TWHW patreon site.
“Players we want are reliant on their club buying other players and with the Euros on, some top targets have their attention focused elsewhere for the time.”
