ExWHUEmployee provides an update on the current condition of play as West Ham continues to work on rebuilding the squad this summer.
Despite suggestions that the continuous pursuit of Wolves’ Max Kilman had reached a standstill, our podcast co-host and club insider, reporting on The West Ham Way Patreon, has informed us that progress is being made.
James Ward-Prowse was one of Moyes’ top targets last summer, and it happened with him. Now, this “stalling” is something we have seen happen many times in the past with big transfer targets,” said Ex. Zouma and Scamacca experienced the same thing in the past.
We currently differ between £10 and £15 million from Wolves’ estimate of the player. Lopetegui has expressed his desire to sign the player, possibly to take over as captain.
This is not, in my opinion, over.We also made an attempt to trade Wolves a player. Both Cornet and Ings were suspected, however moving Ings will be challenging for anyone because to his pay. Southampton was also offered him during the discussions.
According to people close to the player, Ings has reportedly been putting a lot of effort into improving his physical condition and body this summer.
Kilman will eventually sign, however I can’t promise anything as this is simply a hunch at this point. However, I think we will approach him again with an offer.
Ex has also provided an update on our interest in the Championship market, stating that at present time, Hull City players are the focus of a great deal of interest.
The other option that can also provide variety is Jacob Greaves, the insider added. We have been following him for a while as he plays for Hull City.
As previously said, we also have a soft spot for Jaden Philogene. We’ll discuss our other winger targets at a later time. The team has already started negotiations to sign the talented winger. Other center backs on the continent are also targets.
Not only prospective recruits, but also rumors that clubs are circling to target our core players—specifically, Edson Alvarez, Jarrod Bowen, and Mohammed Kudus—have made headlines.
Bowen, Kudus, and Alvarez—who have been sidelined for around six weeks—remain likely to continue at the club this summer, as we have stated in previous updates, even with a lot of press coverage.
Although each player has a price, none of them have indicated that they would like to leave. Because Alvarez is probably going to stay, the club decided against moving for Watford’s Ismael Kone, who has now joined Marseille.
Ex also mentioned that the players’ return is now scheduled, and the home uniform would be unveiled in time for them to start playing again before the August start of the new campaign.
