West Ham United are set to make further new signings before the close of the transfer window.

Slaven Bilic has completed a u-turn on West Ham United transfer, with his latest comments to the club’s official website.

Bilic told the London Evening Standard earlier this month that West Ham would be making no more exciting additions.

He said: “I don’t expect any more ‘exciting’ signings because you don’t want to be overbooked in certain positions.”

However, in his latest interview, Bilic has confirmed that the Hammers are not done in the transfer window.

“We’re still not over the transfer window and we’re in a good position budget-wise because we got a few, but we also sold a few players,” Bilic stated.

“We have enough centre-backs in our team if they stay fit. You can’t have eight players in one situation. We have one position we want to fill unless if someone goes and we have to fill in.”

The identity of West Ham’s latest target is believe to be Sporting Lisbon midfielder William Carvalho.

According to Sky Sports, West Ham and Sporting are currently negotiating a price for the powerful central midfielder.

West Ham have made four notable additions so far this summer, in the shape of Joe Hart, Javier Hernandez, Marko Arnautovic and Pablo Zabaleta.

Despite the impressive business, Bilic’s side have not started the season in good form.

West Ham have lost their opening two matches, with their next Premier League contest coming against Newcastle United at the weekend.
