West Ham transfer latest as arrivals and exits can officially begin
West Ham can officially conduct their transfer business now that the window is open.
There is plenty of work for the Hammers to get done between now and Tuesday, 1 September, with lots of outgoings and incomings to be expected.
Daniel Kretinsky has shared that West Ham does not need to sell their top stars, but the financial worries of dropping into the second-tier will certainly be there.
There are many sellable assets in Nuno Espirito Santo's squad, with the likes of Jarrod Bowen and Mateus Fernandes attracting plenty of attention.
Ideally, keeping those two would be an excellent starting point for a promotion push, but the duo are good enough to be playing in European competition, never mind the Championship.
With the window officially open as of 15 July, West Ham Zone rounds up everything we know so far about the Irons' potential upcoming business.
Who are West Ham looking to sign this transfer window?
West Ham have registered their interest in quite a few signings already, and so far, are looking to add top-class Championship quality to their squad.
A raid at Sheffield United could be on the cards, as both Harrison Burrows and Sydie Peck have emerged as targets over the last few weeks.
Additionally, Leyton Orient striker Dom Ballard could move to London Stadium amid reports of West Ham interest.
The forward struck 23-goals in League One last season.
Furthermore, Middlesbrough club captain Dael Fry is another EFL player the Irons could look to snap up after being strongly linked.
Who will be sold by West Ham this window?
As stated, many players in that West Ham squad could be sold to help ease any financial burdens.
Bowen has been linked with numerous top sides, including Chelsea and Liverpool but his future is still quite uncertain, while David Moyes' Everton are also reportedly keen.
Moyes is also eyeing quite a few other Hammers stars, with Tomas Soucek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka linked with the Toffees.
Taty Castellanos is another who could make the switch to Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Fernandes looks likely to leave amid interest from Manchester United, PSG and Real Madrid this summer. West Ham have set an £80m price tag on him.
Meanwhile, Crysencio Summerville has been on AS Roma's radar, and his World Cup performance against Japan could boost his price tag.
El Hadji Malick Diouf and Konstantinos Mavropanos have also been linked with moves within England and the European continent, so it remains to be seen what happens over their futures.
Overall, there is plenty of business to be done over the upcoming months.
