Hot on the heels of the club's most recent signing, news is emerging from all over the place of yet more signings, possibly as many as FOUR! Of course the head line grabber is Lucas Paqueta.

As we publish this article, the Paqueta deal is pretty much done and dusted, whilst deals for Adnan Januzaj, Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja could be in the pipeline as well.

West Ham United have delved heavily into the European market for new signings, consequently the Italian and French connections at the club continue to grow and hopefully develop.

There could be a distinctly 'Euro' back line soon if the proposed move for reported David Moyes target Borna Sosa has any legs to it, if Aaron Cresswell had any doubts as to how the Hammers boss views his left back options before, he will most definitely be feeling them now!

Are The Irons Becoming Chelsea's 'Sell To' Club?

West Ham seem to have developed a 'close' bond with Chelsea FC in recent times, The West Londoners obviously becoming increasingly at ease with their Iron's dealings as it has become blatantly obvious to them that their East London neighbours represent little if any threat to their Premier League aspirations.

When David Moyes returned as West Ham manager for the 2nd time he must have been all too aware of the legendary Hammers new signing injury curse, so as a person known for carrying out his due diligence to 'crime scene investigation' levels it should have come as no surprise when his marquee signing Nayef Aguerd promptly got injured in his first game for the club.

Nikola Vlasic looks to be ending his ill fated Premier League return by moving to Serie A and Torino, initially on loan but with a non obligatory option to buy after one season. On the face of it Torino only paying £2.1 Million to cover part of Vlasic’s wages and a full transfer price IF Torino want to make the deal permanent of only £12.6 Million is appalling business by West Ham and David Moyes, how ever this being West Ham things are rarely as straight forward as they seem.
