Our contact that we have who works in the offices of BT Sport which are located next to West Ham's in The QE Park, have told us that the flurry of media activity surrounding impending West Ham transfers has subsided in the last 24 hours and is now unlikely to resurface until the very closing stages of the transfer window, Tuesday the 31st of August at 11 PM. The Jim 'brown nose' White deadline day Sky TV show is probably when and if any pending transfers are likely to come to fruition, such is the lot of a 'last dibs' club like West Ham.

Liverpool's 26 year old Belgian striker Divock Origi may not have been on many people's radar as a possible front man for West Ham, two years ago he was valued around £18 Million but is now available for £10.5 Million, that is not so much a reflection of the player's quality, more that of the current 'depressed' market as a result of the Covid Pandemic.

Having qualified for the Europa League 'proper', Hammers will soon find out who they are likely to face in the group stages. There will definitely be some familiar faces when the games begin, but first several potential rivals have to 'duke'it out in order to reach the group stages.

Strangely enough, as a result of the changed rules for the new season and the establishment of the lower tier Conference Cup, teams that drop out of the Champions league qualifiers now have to play qualifiers to see if they can qualify, it that makes any sense.
