West Ham United have practically stolen striker Lucas Perez from Arsenal for a bargain basement £4 Million rising to £5 Million with add ons. Things went very poorly for Perez following his £17 Million move from Deportivo de La Coruna to the Emirates, so bad were things for the player at Arsenal that he was farmed out for all of last season back at Deportivo on loan!

If you care to aggregate the various media outlets then West Ham United are in the business of signing anyone with a pulse! However the reality is that the Hammers have, under the guidance of Mario Husillos and Manuel Pellegrini, embarked on a recruitment process that has been both professional and productive, the envy of many opposition fans.

Realistically Jordan Hugill was never going to fit the Pellegrini player template, it is not his fault that Hammers stumped up an eye watering £10 Million in January for him as a 'failsafe' in case of the club being relegated to the Championship, that wasn't eventually the case and Hugill consequently spent less than an hour playing in the Barclays Premier League.
