Not before time it seems that West Ham are finally getting their act together in the transfer market, and if David Moyes can land the targets that the east Londoners are currently being linked with, the Hammers could have a fantastic squad for the 2023/24 campaign.
The Scot and his board appeared to have made a huge error in waiting until Declan Rice was sold to Arsenal before placing bids for any potential new stars, but they’re now getting business done.
James Ward-Prowse has followed Edson Alvarez, whilst there are rumours that talks are ongoing for Ajax’s Mohammed Kudus and the club are favourites to land Konstantinos Mavropanos.

Negotiations advancing with Stuttgart and Italian clubs also believe Dinos will join West Ham.

It doesn’t appear that the Hammers are stopping there either, with The Independent (subscription required) noting that the club are already ahead of Man City and Tottenham Hotspur in the chase for Rennes hugely exciting star, Jeremy Doku.
The outlet note that they are the only club that have made an offer at this point, though it’s lower than the £50m asking price that the Ligue Un side require.
Chelsea are also believed to be interested given that they’ve recently missed out on the signing of Michal Olise and, intriguingly, it’s Olise’s Crystal Palace team-mate, Eberechi Eze, that could be a secondary target for all of those clubs that miss out on Doku’s capture.
