West Ham United have been busy this week and it is all reaching a tense crescendo on deadline day.
David Moyes added Czech midfielder Tomas Soucek to his ranks on Wednesday.
And West Ham have been linked with a plethora of players since.
On Thursday afternoon the Hammers were linked with a move for Hull City striker Jarrod Bowen (The Sun).
There has been claim and counter claim in the 24 hours since. And earlier this afternoon a report from Sky Sports’ Live Transfer Blog (14:58) claimed West Ham’s move for Bowen had stalled.

But respected football transfer journalist Graeme Bailey has provided some encouraging news for Hammers fans this evening.
Speaking on Twitter, self-styled transfer insider Bailey revealed West Ham would be confirming Bowen soon after Hull reached an agreement to sign his replacement.
