West Ham transfer news: Stalwart likely to leave Hammers and join Premier League rivals Wolves this summer.
According to the Guardian’s Jacob Steinberg, all is not well at West Ham at the moment, with David Moyes and director of football Tim Steidten not on the same page regarding transfer targets.

With the Scot and the German seemingly at loggerheads, the Hammers could start the new season with no new signings if we’re not careful.

West Ham transfer news: Stalwart likely to leave Hammers and join Premier League rivals
Jacob Steinberg reckons that Cresswell will probably end up joining Wolves before the transfer window slams shut.
David Moyes needs to be really careful here. He lost Mark Noble last summer, Declan Rice a few weeks ago, and could now lose Cresswell, as well as the likes of Michail Antonio and Gianluca Scamacca.
That’s an awful lot of experience to allow out of the door without bringing any new faces in.
In recent times, West Ham have kept hold of players for far too long through either misguided loyalty, or sentimentality.
That all has to change if we are to make progress to the next level.
In fairness, I think selling Cresswell will be the correct call this summer. However, if Moyes is to let him leave, he absolutely has to sign a couple of experienced leaders – something that we’re really lacking right now, and that’s without potentially our longest serving current player!
This one will be worth keeping a close eye on over the next week or so, as the West Ham transfer news really begins to kick up a notch.
