West Ham United boss Manuel Pellegrini is chasing both Jack Wilshere and Andriy Yarmolenko, according to reports.
Yarmolenko is due for a medical this week, while West Ham reportedly hope to have Wilshere’s arrival confirmed in the near future.
And Pellegrini’s words surely offer a clue that he is confident that both deals will get over the line.
“I hope that, next week, or before we finish July, the fans of West Ham will have good news. We are trying to build a strong squad and to find the players that we need,” he said.
“Probably we are going to see new faces soon.”
For Pellegrini to come out and publicly state that signings will arrive in the coming week, and for those quotes to appear on the club’s official website, surely suggests West Ham are confident of getting the transfers over the line.
West Ham would only come in for criticism if they fail to complete a transfer this week now, after getting supporters hopes up.
Wilshere and Yarmolenko look like impressive additions for West Ham, on paper, with the pair both high-profile players.
Wilshere will bring creativity to West Ham’s midfield, while Yarmolenko could be one of the most exciting wingers to watch in England.
