West Ham United are said to be looking at youngsters Vincent Thill and Joel Drommel.

David Moyes, Manager of West Ham United looks on ahead of the Premier League match between West Ham United and Watford at London Stadium on February 10, 2018 in London, England.

According to the Daily Express, West Ham United are lining up bids for Vincent Thill and Joel Drommel in the summer.

West Ham have been scouting the youngsters for much of the season so far, and Moyes now wants to bring them to the London Stadium.

Thill is currently playing in midfield for Metz and he has impressed in Ligue 1 this season, while Drommel is FC Twente’s goalkeeper.

The double-deal may be seen as a move for the future, but their additions are unlikely to reduce the pressure on West Ham’s board.

David Sullivan, David Gold and Karren Brady were all heavily criticised over the January transfer window, with West Ham’s additions not appeasing supporters.

West Ham United owners David Sullivan and David Gold look on prior to the Premier League match between Burnley and West Ham United at Turf Moor on May 21, 2017 in Burnley, England.

West Ham only brought in Joao Mario on loan and Jordan Hugill from Preston.

And if Thill and Drommel are to be West Ham’s first two transfers in the summer, questions will be asked of the board’s ambition again, with the London Stadium crowd wanting more high-profile players added to Moyes’ squad.
