Julen Lopetegui has a real opportunity to strengthen his West Ham Unietd starting XI beyond all recognition this summer. There will undoubtedly be a big reshuffle at the London Stadium this summer, with Julen Lopetegui eyeing at least for more new signings before the start of the new season. The West Ham manager was said to be prioritising the signing of a new striker – Youssef En-Nesyri in particular, but his primary concern has apparently now switched to bringing in a central midfielder after the injury picked up by Edson Alvarez on international duty. If we’re being honest, Lopetegui actual...

It could be all change at West Ham United this summer as Julen Lopetegui embarks on a big squad overhaul. Julen Lopetegui needs to make some key signings for West Ham in the summer transfer window, if he is to oversee some genuine progress. The Hammers boss is reportedly prioritising the addition of a proven striker this summer, in a bid to really beef up his attacking ranks. But it seems as though Lopetegui’s centre-forward department could well be weakened before it gets stronger. So Michail Antonio could leave the London Stadium this summer it seems, after he came incredibly close to leavin...

West Ham united have a chance to make a quick profit this summer by selling James Ward-Prowse, whilst improving greatly as a team at the same time. Firstly, it has to be said that James Ward-Prowse was more than decent for West Ham last season, after David Moyes brought him to the London Stadium from Southampton for around £30 million. The 29-year-old was an ever present figure in the Hammers midfield, and he was an extremely consistent performer. His poor displays usually coincided with Moyes bizarrely shoe-horning him in the left wing role. Those rare performances aside though, Ward-Prowse d...

Certain pundits have really let their masks slip over the past week, when it comes to their criticisms of England manager Gareth Southgate. Firstly, I have to say, Gareth Southgate is not the man to take England on to the next level – he’s nothing more than an FA ‘yes man’. The 53-year-old Three Lions boss is very much like former West Ham manager David Moyes in the sense that he is extremely functional, to an extent, until his side faces top-class opposition, and that’s when all of his flaws are laid bare for the world to see. Moyes inadvertently showcased to the whole world exactly why he wa...

West Ham United manager Julen Lopetegui would have had a big wake-up call when watching the Euros last night. Julen Lopetegui faces a monumental task, if he is to get West Ham back inside the European places this season. Getting his transfer business done and dusted as soon as possible will be crucial for Lopetegui, especially considering the difficult start the Hammers have been handed after the 2024/25 Premier League fixtures were released. Aside from signing a proven centre-forward, the Spaniard should be prioritising strengthening his back-line. The likes of Kurt Zouma need upgrading upon ...

West Ham United centre-back Kurt Zouma could well be finished at the London Stadium now. Kurt Zouma joined West Ham from Chelsea back in the summer of 2021 for around £30 million (Daily Mail), and he made a strong start to his Hammers career. However, he has regressed badly from a physical perspective over the past year or so, and West Ham are apparently prepared to listen to offers for the club captain this summer. That’s no surprise at all. Zouma was woeful for the Hammers last season, and did not live up to the job of being club captain. The Frenchman often shied away from the media, and wa...

Have West Ham fans been fed a £100m red herring after some extremely exciting developments in the transfer market over the last week? That’s the question Hammers News is asking today after a steady stream of news regarding West Ham’s transfer plans. It’s been the worst kept secret in football that West Ham need to spend big and spend well this summer. Technical director Tim Steidten has taken full control of West Ham’s recruitment. Julen Lopetegui has been appointed with the title of head coach rather than manager for that very reason. The Spaniard is having an input on West Ham’s transfer pla...

West Ham united could seal a double deal worth £57 million this summer, and it would drastically improve us. Julen Lopetegui has plenty of work to do this summer, if he is to guide West Ham back into European competition for next season. The Spaniard is plotting a big overhaul at the London Stadium this summer, and is targeting at least six new signings. Lopetegui is said to be aiming to complete the majority of his business by the time our pre-season campaign begins on July 20th. One of the key areas where the 57-year-old Hammers boss needs to strengthen is his central defensive department. K...

There is an elephant in the room about imminent West Ham signing Luis Guilherme and it simply must be addressed. Two weeks ago the vast majority of West Ham fans had never heard of Luis Guilherme. In fact it is highly likely that most journalists covering Premier League and European football – if they’re honest – won’t have heard of the man West Ham are about to sign for around £25m either. Of course those who are experts in South American football may well have had an idea about the clearly talented teenager. But the sudden links to the Palmeiras talent had most Hammers fans, including yours ...

West Ham United winger Maxwel Cornet has endured a torrid time at the London Stadium over the past 22 months. Maxwel Cornet has played just 957 minutes of football for West Ham, since joining us from Burnley just under two years ago (Transfermarkt). West Ham actually tried to sell the 27-year-old in the January window, but he remained at the London Stadium in the end. The fact that the Hammers kept him at the club made absolutely no sense in the end, because he hardly played at all. There was no rhyme or reason to David Moyes’s steadfast refusal to play Cornet – it just seemed like the Scot di...
