“West Ham’s INSANE Transfer Frenzy: Striker Deal SEALED, Defender Signing GUARANTEED to Blow Your Mind!”

West Ham United have officially announced the arrivals of El Hadji Malick Diouf, signed for approximately £19million from Slavia Prague, and Kyle Walker-Peters, who joined the club on a free transfer.

However, with the start of the Premier League season fast approaching, some fans are becoming increasingly frustrated by the club’s limited transfer activity since those deals.

Manager Graham Potter will be hoping for progress in the coming days, especially with a pre-season clash against Manchester United scheduled for Sunday, 27 July, in the United States.

Here is a round-up of the latest West Ham transfer news over the past 24 hours.

Callum Wilson emerges as target

Following the exit of long-serving forward Michail Antonio, the Hammers have been in search of a new striker to bolster their attacking options.

According to Sky Sports (23 July), West Ham are now in discussions to sign Callum Wilson, who is available as a free agent after leaving Newcastle United at the end of the season.

The 33-year-old has struggled with multiple injuries in recent years but still offers Premier League experience.

Taremi on the radar

Another name under consideration is Inter Milan striker Mehdi Taremi. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (23 July), West Ham hold an interest in the Iranian forward, who joined Inter on a free transfer from Porto last summer.

However, his time in Serie A has been underwhelming, potentially making him available at a reduced price.

Palhinha seen as the perfect fit

Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha is attracting interest from several Premier League sides, including West Ham.

Former Brentford boss Martin Allen told West Ham Zone (23 July) that the Hammers should do everything possible to secure his signature.

“If it were to cost £30million to get him, I would definitely take him. He is exactly what is needed,” Allen stated.

Green light for Hajdari deal

Swiss defender Albian Hajdari has also been linked with a move to the London Stadium. Despite previous injury concerns, Dr Rajpal Brar told West Ham Zone (23 July) that a medical should not be a problem.

“There may be other underlying factors to consider, but I do not see any issues with his medical,” he said.
