BREAKING NEWS:Julen Lopetegui confirmed the return of former key player few minutes ago..
A West Ham transfer revelation will blow minds across the Premier League and may make some feel differently about the club’s owners.
West Ham are widely regarded to have “won the transfer window” this summer.
Nine signings arrived and that could soon become 10 with the Hammers looking at a free transfer centre-back signing having trialled John Egan this week.
West Ham have committed in excess of £155m on signings this summer presuming Jean-Clair Todibo will hit the five-starts milestone which triggers a £30m permanent deal.
Technical director Tim Steidten has overseen the major squad overhaul with 12 players departing the London Stadium too.
Many feel it is perhaps West Ham’s best single transfer window ever.
And it is difficult to argue whether the Hammers have ever had a stronger squad in the Premier League era.
Certainly on paper at least.
The proof of the pudding will be in the eating of course.
Now it is up to Julen Lopetegui to fuse the new-look squad into a team that not only gets results but plays a better brand of football than under his predecessor David Moyes.
West Ham transfer revelation will blow minds
West Ham’s majority owner David Sullivan and vice-chair Karren Brady have been the target of fan ire down the years.
Especially since the controversial move from Upton Park to the London Stadium.
Relations have been tempestuous at times between the terraces and board. That is evident even now with fans justifiably angry over ticket pricing and the scrapping of concessions at West Ham.
The owners’ pledge that leaving the Boleyn Ground for the former Olympic Stadium would take West Ham to the ‘next level’ has often been used as a stick with which to beat them by supporters.
The list of grievances supporters have with the board is lengthy down the years.
But there is no denying West Ham have taken big strides since leaving Upton Park.
Three consecutive seasons in Europe, a first major trophy in 43 years and the club’s record Premier League points total are proof of that.
