As the Hammers set to ramp up their transfer business for the upcoming weeks, the club have turned to a former target, in hopes of bolstering their midfield for the upcoming campaign.

The target in question here is Nottingham Forest’s midfielder James McAtee. The Forest man moved to Nottingham last season in the hope of receiving starting game time as well as having European experience. However, his time at Forest has been dull and over time he has fallen out of favour and now an exit is on the cards.

Nuno’s plan appears to be forming as West Ham United have taken a major step to helping Nuno off the pitch.

The Hammers had rumours circulating that Paco Jemez might not have renewed yet for a reason, and those suspicions are now correct. West Ham are closing in on getting Nuno’s right-hand man, Rui Pedro Silva, his assistant manager at both Wolves and Nottingham Forest.

As well as West Ham’s kit release this morning, Mateus Fernandes has officially been announced by Spurs, concluding the rumours and marking the end of what felt to be an impending saga.

With Fernandes’ sale generating West Ham £85m, a replacement needs to be found, and it appears that the Hammers were ahead of the curve, anticipating Fernandes’ departure long before the confirmation and have found their man that they believe should replace Mateus.
