It seems like an age, but the transfer window has only been open for less than a week and as expected the 'natives' are getting restless as fans right across the country scrutinise every scrap of news they can find out about the comings and goings of players from and to their club, mainly as to where those players they are acquiring come from and how much they cost.

For years every transfer window served to remind West Ham fans just how little investment there was being made in the club, as opposed to it's London neighbours. Virtually every time Hammers showed an interest in a player and it became public, either one or other of Arsenal, Chelsea or especially 'Tottingham' instantly showed an interest in said player.

Hammers pursuit of getting an additional striker in to complement Michail Antonio seems to have been stepped up judging from reports that The Irons sent scouts to watch Austria play Denmark in Vienna and it is believed 6' 7 " forward Sasa Kalajdzic was the player they were monitoring.

The 24 year old striker was a target for the Hammers during the last transfer window but as usual nothing happened, the Stuttgart striker played the first 45 minutes, but was unimpressive as Austria suffered a 2-1 defeat to Denmark
in the UEFA Nations League.
