The Hammers have been looking to retain the majority of players, but we’re accepting that certain departures were inevitable, one of which being Crysencio Summerville.

Amongst all the interest, West Ham set a price tag of £50m on him and Kretinsky has stuck to his named price, without a budget in sight.

Whilst Manchester United were interested in the Dutchman, they would have to sell Marcus Rashford before pursuing a deal, leading to complications, leaving just Aston Villa and Roma to compete for Jimmy.

West Ham: Hermansen, Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Scarles, Kante, Earthy, Lamadrid, Bowen (C), Pablo, Taty

Subs: Areola, Herrick, Ward-Prowse, Battrum, Potts, Casey, Marshall, Murphy, Orford, Golambeckis, Mayers, Ajala, Fearon

Today the club have officially announced that Jarrod Bowen will be staying at West Ham United and has signed a revised contract upon his agreement to stay.

West Ham released a video over two minutes long and confirmed that Jarrod Bowen was staying at West Ham next season despite all the inevitable rumours.

Amongst all the inevitable departures, seemingly the next departure on the list is Wan-Bissaka, who has made it known to the West Ham hierarchy that he doesn’t want to be in the Championship and would like to move away ahead of the upcoming campaign.

West Ham have set a price tag of £25m on the Congolese international - yes, you are reading that correctly, but that is what happens when a club won’t give in and actually sticks to their guns, nice for a change!

Whilst many fans amongst the Hammers fanbase have been furious at the lack of movement in players since being relegated, a delight has appeared around the corner regarding current players that are expected to stay.

Time moves on even if statues don’t move… unfortunately, the Hammers are statues. As time passes, it’s becoming further and further apparent that West Ham’s inevitable ‘top targets' are slipping through their fingers for cheap fees.

Hammers target, Hammers remain interested, Hammers rumoured to bid and the Hammers intrigued… all of the above have run riot into the world of media, ranging from England to Portugal where other international clubs are reporting ‘done deals’ to try and force a move away when the reality is completely and utterly different.

Reports are all ifs, buts and maybes, and everything is minimal. Exits are unknown, incomings are pending but who is another question.

West Ham have recently acquired an interest in a Portuguese midfielder called Gustavo Sá.

The midfielder, who currently plays for FC Famalicão is said to be Mateus Fernandes’ replacement, whom we sold for an £85m fee a week ago. It has been alluded to that a deal has been spoken about around the £20m mark, but nothing is set in stone and the truth is, Koppen’s targets need to be discussed first, which makes sense given his role in the club.

As the Hammers set to ramp up their transfer business for the upcoming weeks, the club have turned to a former target, in hopes of bolstering their midfield for the upcoming campaign.

The target in question here is Nottingham Forest’s midfielder James McAtee. The Forest man moved to Nottingham last season in the hope of receiving starting game time as well as having European experience. However, his time at Forest has been dull and over time he has fallen out of favour and now an exit is on the cards.

Nuno’s plan appears to be forming as West Ham United have taken a major step to helping Nuno off the pitch.

The Hammers had rumours circulating that Paco Jemez might not have renewed yet for a reason, and those suspicions are now correct. West Ham are closing in on getting Nuno’s right-hand man, Rui Pedro Silva, his assistant manager at both Wolves and Nottingham Forest.
