West Ham ready £5m transfer after Keiber Lamadrid with double deal on cards
West Ham United bounced back to life in the Premier League relegation fight this week.
After looking consigned to relegation and the Championship, West Ham picked up their biggest win of the season with a 2-1 success at Tottenham.
Callum Wilson was the hero, and the striker now looks set to stay at the London Stadium, despite rumours that he was on the verge of an exit.
To add to that success, Keiber Lamadrid looks set to become the third signing of the month, with the Deportivo La Guaira winger to join on loan initially.
The Hammers aren’t stopping there, though.
Adama Traore could be next at West Ham
Lamadrid is currently in Paris for his medical, and will make the move to West Ham formal once his visa process is approved.
After that, attention will swiftly turn to Adama Traore.
The Daily Mail has reported in its print edition on Tuesday that Fulham want around £5million for the Spaniard, who is destined to leave Craven Cottage.
It is said that West Ham will now return to talks over Traore alongside Lamadrid, with Fulham’s international contingent now returning from AFCON.
Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze will open the door for the winger to leave, if a deal can be agreed.

Is Adama Traore past it?
Traore has not enjoyed a profitable couple of years in the Premier League.
In 262 appearances, he has somehow only managed 14 goals at the top level, despite featuring for Aston Villa, Middlesbrough, Wolves and Fulham.
Throw in a failed spell in Spain with Barcelona in recent years, and you really have to start scratching your head at Nuno Espirito Santo.
Of all positions, the Hammers are likely sorted in the final third, especially with Lamadrid coming in as a rotation option in backup.
Crysencio Summerville has really found his feet, and Jarrod Bowen will always be reliable on the other side, with Pablo and Taty Castellanos able to play there too.
Time will tell, but Nuno and the Irons look hellbent on Traore, so expect that one to happen.
