West Ham United are expected to be busy on deadline day tomorrow.

Manuel Pellegrini the head coach

West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini will surely be desperate to bolster his ranks at the London Stadium before the transfer window slams shut tomorrow night.

The Hammers haven’t actually signed anyone as yet this month, but they have been linked with a whole host of exciting talent.

Here are three potential deals that West Ham could push through before tomorrow’s 11pm deadline…

Maxi Gomez:

The Celta Vigo ace has been tracked by the Hammers all month, with Sky Sports suggesting that a £40 million deal is close to being completed for the Uruguayan.

The 22-year-old is a powerful centre-forward, and he’s pretty useful in front of goal.

He would be a great signing for the east London outfit, and his arrival would perhaps signal the start of a new era at the club.

Maxi Gomez faces the media during his presentation as a new player for Celta de Vigo at Estadio Balaidos on June 28, 2017 in Vigo, Spain.

Danny Drinkwater:

The Chelsea ace is clearly not wanted by Maurizio Sarri, and according to the Daily Mail, West Ham are leading the race to sign the midfielder.

The 28-year-old is well established, having won the Premier League title with Leicester in 2016, but it is debatable as to whether he is actually better than what Pellegrini already has at his disposal.

Olivier Giroud:

According to a report from the Daily Mail, West Ham have made a late enquiry for Olivier Giroud, and the Frenchman would be a welcome addition at the London Stadium.

With Marko Arnautovic expected to be out for a long time with an ankle injury, and Javier Hernandez and Lucas Perez facing uncertain futures in east London, Giroud, a World Cup winner with France, would be just the ticket.
