West Ham United fans have been having their say on reports the club are bidding to sign Portugal star William Carvalho.
The Hammers have completed some very good business this summer already.
Bilic has brought in experienced defender Pablo Zabaleta to solve his problem right back position, England goalkeeper Joe Hart, Marko Arnautovic, striker Javier Hernandez and young prospect Saed Haksabanovic.
But with a net spend of just £10 million so far, there is speculation the Hammers are far from done in the window.
And the club is being linked with a club record £26m move for Sporting Lisbon and Portugal midfield star William Carvalho, as reported by the Daily Mail.
According to the Mail, the 25-year-old – who was a key figure in helping Portugal win the European Championships last summer – has been denied a move to the Premier League before now as Sporting have always proved notoriously difficult to negotiate with.
But West Ham wary are hopeful they can broker a compromise involving Carvalho’s new agent Pere Guardiola, brother of Manchester City boss Pep.
They also have Carvalho’s international compatriots Jose Fonte and Domingos Quina in East London to help the midfield powerhouse settle in.
Supporters have been reacting in great numbers to the news on Twitter, here’s what they’ve been saying.
