Time moves on even if statues don’t move… unfortunately, the Hammers are statues. As time passes, it’s becoming further and further apparent that West Ham’s inevitable ‘top targets' are slipping through their fingers for cheap fees.

Hammers target, Hammers remain interested, Hammers rumoured to bid and the Hammers intrigued… all of the above have run riot into the world of media, ranging from England to Portugal where other international clubs are reporting ‘done deals’ to try and force a move away when the reality is completely and utterly different.

Reports are all ifs, buts and maybes, and everything is minimal. Exits are unknown, incomings are pending but who is another question.

West Ham have recently acquired an interest in a Portuguese midfielder called Gustavo Sá.

The midfielder, who currently plays for FC Famalicão is said to be Mateus Fernandes’ replacement, whom we sold for an £85m fee a week ago. It has been alluded to that a deal has been spoken about around the £20m mark, but nothing is set in stone and the truth is, Koppen’s targets need to be discussed first, which makes sense given his role in the club.
