West Ham are being linked with an abundance of players already for the summer and to be fair, there are some exciting names in the list.
I know I may have included a couple that we haven’t necessarily been linked with any time recently, but still.
Goalkeeper:
GK: WES FODERINGHAM – He’s a free agent and i would take him as third choice keeper if Joseph Anang leaves. Wes would add to the homegrown quota in the squad.
Defenders:
CB – FABRÍCIO BRUNO – He looks to be joining West Ham, 28 years old, and a big, strong unit.
CB – JACOB GREAVES – Had a good season with Hull FC. He wouldn’t be my first choice, but would help with the homegrown quota.
CB – LLOYD KELLY – He’s a Free agent, but looks Newcastle bound, which is a shame.
CB – MAX KILMAN – A Lopetegui favourite. I see this having legs, but he could cost too much.
CB – TOSIN ADARABIOYO – Is a Free agent, but looks Newcastle United or Chelsea bound, which is unfortunate.
LB – ARCHIE BROWN – He’s a quality youngster with tremendous potential.
LB – FERDI KADIOĞLU – Regrettably, he looks to be going to Arsenal.
LB – JUAN MIRANDA – A Free agent and definitely an improvement on our current crop of left backs.
LB – LEIF DAVIS – Not been linked with us for a while, and with Ipswich’s promotion, seems unlikely.
RB – KYLE WALKER-PETERS – He’s not been linked to West Ham for a while, and with Southampton’s promotion, is improbable.
Midfielders:
DM: WILFRED NDIDI – He’s a Free Agent and looks to be Lyon bound though, which is a shame. We haven’t been linked with Ndidi to my knowledge, but playing 4-2-3-1, Ndidi and Alvarez as the two holding midfielders would be solid.
CM: GABRIEL SARA – Not been linked with us to my knowledge, but I’d say he is arguably one of the better midfielders in the Championship and would be a spectacular signing.
CM: JORDAN JAMES – Not been linked to us to my knowledge, but I’d say he is arguably one of the better midfielders in the Championship and would be an excellent signing.
CM: CALLUM O’HARE – A quality youngster with bags of potential.
CM: JOBE BELLINGHAM – Is a quality young player with lots of potential.
CM: MORGAN GIBBS-WHITE – I don’t think we’ve been linked with him. He played for Lopetegui at Wolverhampton Wanderers and I don’t see it happening, but thought it was worth a mention as Nottingham Forest have to sell to prevent further FFP punishments.
Wingers:
W: CRYSENCIO SUMMERVILLE – As Leeds United didn’t get promoted, I think he’ll be available. Easily the Championship’s best player last season. I see him going for a big fee though.
W: GRADY DIANGANA – Not sure how I feel about this player. I was disappointed when he left, but he hasn’t exactly pulled up trees since leaving. Apart from boosting the homegrown quota, I’m not sure he’d would be worthwhile.
W: JACK CLARKE – He’s a quality youngster with plenty of potential.
W: JOTA SILVA – He would be my first choice at left wing if Crysencio proved too expensive.
W: WESLEY GASSOVA – Looks exciting, and would be all over a move to us for the right price.
Forwards:
F: GEORGINIO RUTTER – Leeds didn’t get promoted, so I think he could be available. Not the highest of goalscorers, but has stacks of potential and made a load of assists last season in the Championship. I see him going for a large fee though.
F: IVAN TONEY – He would be a quality signing, but I think he’ll be too expensive.
F: TAIWO AWONIYI – He’s the closest we’d ever come to an Michail Antonio replacement. And as Nottingham Forest need to sell players due to FFP, I wouldn’t be disappointed with him.
F: VICTOR BONIFACE – Let’s face it, it would be a pipedream. I would love to see it happen, but it won’t.
F: YOUSSEF EN-NESYRI – Another Lopetegui favourite and I can see this having legs, as he seems to have said his goodbyes at Sevilla.
