West Ham’s Transfer Revolution West Ham United‘s transfer window has taken on a new urgency under Director of Football Tim Steidten.

West Ham United are expected to lodge a £12.8 million bid for a winger imminently, according to one report. Julen Lopetegui and Tim Steidten are clearly making contingency plans for West Ham this summer, with a deal for 18-year-old Brazilian Luis Guilherme still not finalised. That said, it has been claimed that the Hammers are now close to wrapping up a deal for the Palmeiras starlet.

That’s not allowing for any further departures with the likes of Nayef Aguerd, Danny Ings and others linked with moves away. All areas of the West Ham team…

West Ham United must prepare for life without Lucas Paqueta This saga…

Julen Lopetegui has taken the reigns at the London Stadium and is eager to make his own imprint on the squad. The former Wolves man is expected to implement a possession-based brand of football, which completely goes away from what David Moyes deployed during his tenure. That said, it seemed Lopetegui was closing in on his first two signings but now that has been thrown into doubt. West Ham United fear missing out on Luis Guilherme and Fabricio Bruno. According to Jack…
