West Ham and Newcastle United will both have their sights set on European qualification this season.
Breaking into the ‘Big Six’ bubble is on the agenda at West Ham and Newcastle United and they can show their ambition in the summer transfer market.
With Julen Lopetegui now at the helm for the Hammers, they have added four new signings to the Spaniard’s squad including a £25million deal for Crysencio Summerville.
West Ham are also closing in on a double deal with agreements reached between the clubs.
After a slow start to the window, West Ham are now firing on all cylinders with Aaron Wan-Bissaka also agreeing terms to a move.
They have now set their sights on a centre-back signing and Toulouse’s Logan Costa is reportedly on their radar.

The 23-year-old centre-back is valued at 18million Euros (£15million) according to the report.
It is reported that Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is a huge admirer of the player, and Newcastle are still on the market for another centre-back.
