Are more signings on the way for West Ham United this summer?
West Ham United have made two major signings in the form of Sebastien Haller and Pablo Fornals this summer.
Haller, a French striker, set the Irons back a club-record £45 million fee [The Standard], while the Spanish playmaker cost £24 million [The Standard].
It has been a very decent transfer window for West Ham, who have also signed two goalkeepers, but could there be more signings on the way?
The Hammers beat Fulham 1-0 in a pre-season friendly on Saturday and, speaking to the club’s official website afterwards, Manuel Pellegrini dropped a big hint that he isn’t finished spending.
He said: “The squad is almost ready. We have a couple of weeks more to decide on some things before the season starts.
“We’re happy though. We have two players in each position and we already have more than one year working. We started last season with nine new players and, of course, a new manager. I hope we will improve again this season.”
Saying that West Ham’s squad is ‘almost ready’ could be considered a clue that the Chilean manager is plotting further additions, one of which could be a striker.
According to The Star, the East Londoners are ‘confident’ about signing Porto hitman Moussa Marega as competition for Haller, having lost two front men Marko Arnautovic and Andy Carroll this summer.
Pellegrini’s side kick off their Premier League campaign by hosting champions Manchester City in London in 13 days.
