West Ham United are already making plans for life without Crysencio Summerville.

In a crazy turn of events, Summerville looks to be closing in on a move to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.

With another £65million closing in after the huge sale of Mateus Fernandes, Nuno Espirito Santo needs signings of his own.

And his first possible incoming? Nestory Irankunda.

The Australian winger has quickly made a name for himself in English football after leaving Bayern Munich behind for Watford.

Now being close London rivals in the Championship, West Ham are looking to throw their authority around in the second-tier.

What do we know about Nestory Irankunda and West Ham?

It's no secret that the Hammers need another winger.

With Summerville leaving for Saudi, it opens up the huge issue that was seen during his injury last season.

Nuno doesn't have an adequate replacement, but with Jarrod Bowen staying on the other side, one big-name signing should do it.

Record has reported in its print edition on Wednesday that Irankunda is now attracting interest from the London Stadium.

The Portugese newspaper was covering Sporting CP's £17m bid for Irankunda, as they look to beat the competition.

It's stated that fresh interest is arriving every day, with Hull and Everton also interested in the tricky winger.

West Ham finally agree Crysencio Summerville exit - where that leaves Nuno Espirito Santo

When will Crysencio Summerville leave West Ham?

West Ham Zone has heavily covered the news, with Summerville now set for Saudi.

The winger is set for his medical on Wednesday with Al-Hilal, via Ben Jacobs, so things are moving quickly.

With Roma blown out of the water, Summerville's exit should be confirmed before the weekend comes around.

Then, all eyes will be on Irankunda.

The Aussie winger has become known for the spectacular in the Championship, scoring long-range strikes and free-kicks regularly.

Having that sort of difference maker in your squad against stubborn second-tier defences sat behind the ball could be critical.

Given Sporting's latest bid, it will likely take £20m or more to get Watford to agree to sell their best player to a local rival.

Thankfully, after the madness with Summerville, West Ham will have no issues with that.

It's time to start taking this promotion push seriously, and that means throwing your weight and money around to make it happen.

And West Ham have plenty of that now.
