As any West Ham fan would remember, as well as many signings last summer, there were also many, many rumours, ones that were completely media-esc and others that simply just got away.

The biggest conundrum last summer was Colombian international Jhon Duran. West Ham had identified Duran and Fullkrug as striker targets. The Hammers ended up with Fullkrug, and Duran would find himself in Saudi Arabia come January.

After making the decision not to renew Fabianski’s contract at the end of the season, it’s the first time in a long while that the Hammers are in search of a new goalkeeper.

The club has had the consistent pairing of Fabianski and Areola for numerous years, but now new targets need to be identified. It appears to be that a name which has been circulating for a while is Southampton’s Aaron Ramsdale, whom they signed for a club record fee last summer transfer window.

West Ham confirmed that Jean-Clair Todibo would be made a permanent deal in the region of £33,000,000 from OGC Nice after the obligation clause of the East London side to not be relegated was fulfilled… just about.

The Hammers last summer fended off interest from numerous other clubs, one of which was Italian giants Juventus.
