West Ham United have been one of the busiest clubs in the transfer market this summer and it has caught the eye of former player and manager Harry Redknapp.
West Ham co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold look set to finally make good on promises to take their transfer business to the next level.
West Ham fans were sold a dream when they left their beloved Upton Park for the London Stadium two years ago.
Sullivan and Gold pledged the move to Stratford would enable the Hammers to move to the ‘next level’ and help West Ham afford and attract marquee signings.
The duo even suggested the club could compete for the Premier League and Champions League titles in the near future, as reported back in 2015 by the Daily Mail.
It seems the penny has finally dropped with the East Londoners pulling off some superb business already this summer.
West Ham have already signed Ryan Fredericks and Jack Wilshere on free transfers and have spent a reported £30 million on goalkeeper Lukas Fabianski and highly-rated French defender Issa Diop.
The Evening Standard claims the club are also set to sign Paraguayan defender Fabien Balbuena and Andriy Yarmolenko for a combined £25 million while a deal for Lazio star Felipe Anderson is also close to being struck at £40 million, as reported by the BBC.
West Ham have also bid £25 million for Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles, as reported by Sky Sports, and have been linked with Jean Michael Seri (Sky Sports) too.
It is exciting times for Hammers fans and former player and boss Harry Redknapp told talkSPORT he believes the club means business.
“Fantastic (transfer window so far, and it’s a) great signing (Jack Wilshere),” Redknapp told talkSPORT.
“I like the look of them. I mean West Ham ham are bringing in a few players, they look like they mean business this year which is great for the fans and gives them something to look forward to.
“They’re making a few signings and they look good.”
