West Ham United's Albian Ajeti is currently under going a medical ahead of a permanent £5 Million deal to join serial Scottish Champions Celtic.

As David Moyes attempts to restructure the mostly 'Pellegrinophile' squad that he has inherited, he has clearly stated his desire to bring in young, hungry players who have 'value added' as they progress, instead of ageing has beens or players who's careers are on a downward spiral. So recent media reports of Hammers being interested in free agent Mario Gotze seem way of the mark.

Let's make no mistake, without Michail Antonio's goals West Ham would more than likely have been relegated from the Barclays Premier League this season, the 30 year old as just enjoyed the best season of his career at the club and is moving in to the final year of his contract, one which however has an option for the club to extend the deal by a further twelve months. 'Big Mick' currently earns a not too disrespectful £65,000 per week, OK it is not in the stratospherically insane bracket as Yarmolenko and particularly Jack Wilshere, but it's still a decent salary.

Ex-Manchester United and Real Madrid star David Beckham's Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami, mainly known as Inter Miami CF or simply Inter Miami, look to have thrown West Ham United a bone and ex-hammer of the year Winston Reid a career lifeline. Inter Miami are in desperate need of a strong, verbal defender who is a leader and can organise a colander like defence that has conceded 5 goals in their three out of three defeats.

With the start of the Barclays Premier League a little over a month away, key decisions need to be made by clubs as to how they will set their stall out for the coming season, not least of which are West Ham United.

Players not involved in European cup competitions are now enjoying a further two week break before returning from their shortened holidays in order to prepare for the start of the new season on September 12th, consequently much of the transfer gossip is exactly that, gossip and rumour.

“We’re lacking in defensive cover. We’re also looking to see who could move on, because that could change the direction we take during the transfer window. The owners have spent a lot of money in the last few years and I’m not sure a similar amount will be available this time."

There is absolutely no room for sentiment in the cut throat world of professional football, particularly in the Barclays Premier League and the Leagues below it, so West Ham United's pursuit of players who's club's have been relegated is par to the course.

Having by luck or judgement secured one of the best deals the club have made in the transfer market since the signing of Dimitri Payet, West Ham United are looking to add another Czech player to join up with Tomas Soucek who arrived on loan in the January transfer window before his move was made permanent following the club's successful battle against relegation.

When David Moyes arrived at the London Stadium for the second time he quickly confirmed that the club's prime assets were not immune from being sold, he went on to detail how the sales of Wayne Rooney and Romelu Lukaku went on to fund his previous club Everton's development for their future. His comments were quickly demoted by the club's official site as they instantly realised that the mass of sentiment against such a statement was so overwhelmingly negative that it was 'statement too far' that needed to be saved for the back burner, at least for that time.
