West Ham have been linked with a summer move for exciting prospect Callum Osmand from Scottish champions Celtic.
The Hammers’ first-team squad is set to undergo a major rebuild following their relegation from the Premier League.
They are looking to sign a variety of experienced players, free agents and youngsters in the transfer window.
These additions will be needed to replace several key players expected to leave, such as Mateus Fernandes and El-Hadji Malick Diouf.
Osmand is an example of a talented youngster who could immediately contribute to West Ham’s Championship squad.

West Ham eye Celtic forward Callum Osmand after campaign ruined by injury
West Ham are keeping tabs on Callum Osmand ahead of the summer transfer window, according to The West Ham Way.
The Hammers need to strengthen their attack following Callum Wilson’s departure at the end of his contract.
Osmand is at the opposite end of his career to Wilson, having made just four first-team appearances for Celtic.
The 20-year-old striker joined the Bhoys last summer from Fulham, where he was a highly-rated academy graduate.
Unfortunately, Osmand played just three times for his new team before missing six months with a hamstring injury.
He eventually made his return on the final day of the Scottish Premier League season, scoring and assisting against Hearts.

Soucek? Fernandes? Bowen? Mavropanos? Or is your choice someone else? 🤔
Osmand’s immediate impact after missing so many games through injury shows just how much potential he has.
The Jersey-born forward is likely to be a key part of Celtic’s long-term plans, but a move to West Ham may tempt him.
He could enjoy regular playing time in the Championship before having the opportunity to impress in the Premier League.
This would also help Osmand’s chances of breaking into the England international setup if those are his aspirations.
According to Transfermarkt, Osmand is only valued at £430,000, but Celtic would surely demand a seven-figure fee.
This could be a fascinating transfer saga to keep an eye on as Nuno Espirito Santo attempts to build a title-winning team.
