A star forward has been training in the off-season so that he’s ready for a big move to West Ham ahead of an expected bid.
In the past West Ham have wasted weeks and months fruitlessly chasing players.
David Moyes did just that with the likes of Jesse Lingard and Harry Maguire to name but two.
This summer West Ham’s new head coach Julen Lopetegui and technical director Tim Steidten don’t have that kind of time to waste.
The Hammers need six to eight new signings and they want at least three in ready for the start of pre-season training.
One looks set to sign this week with Brazilian teenage midfield ace Luis Guilherme reportedly jetting in for his West Ham medical on Monday.
It was revealed at the weekend that West Ham want another six or seven with a left-sided attacking forward high on the agenda.
Attentions turn to next signing after Guilherme
Most likely due to the uncertainty surrounding Lucas Paqueta.
