After officially completing wingback duty, West Ham has now taken strides in getting closer to signing the remaining positions at hand, which include a striker, midfielder, and goalkeeper.

Many have suggested, after our pre-season friendly, that Areola is in need of being replaced, but there are also a lot of people who suggest the midfield should take priority.

Our first pre-season game of the 2025/26 season against Zurich ended in a 3-1 victory for the Hammers, the goals coming through Andy Irving, Callum Marshall and Lucas Paqueta.

However, if you could look past the awful commentary alongside the utterly abysmal camera quality, you would've been able to see a rather intriguing game which showed improvements but also patterns that haven't changed whatsoever.

The Besiktas twist began around the early afternoon yesterday when it was shockingly announced that Kyle Walker-Peters' transfer to Turkey had suddenly been called off after a change of heart by Walker-Peters himself, and subsequently, Besiktas had to announce on their social media that he was not going to sign despite the deal being almost done.
