When West Ham will announce new signing as unsubtle message sent

West Ham United have transfer business to attend to on Wednesday.

As things stand, Nuno Espirito Santo has welcomed seven new signings to the London Stadium this summer.

The most recent of which being Morato, who has joined on a season-long loan deal from Nottingham Forest.

Tuesday got even better for the Hammers with a 4-2 win over Wolves in the Championship, earning Nuno's side their first three points of the season.

With the transfer window now closed, Nuno will hope that he's got enough quality and depth to make a real assault on the automatic promotion places this term. But, the Irons are still waiting on signing number eight.

What transfer hint have West Ham posted to social media?

With the window closed, many would've been forgiven for thinking that West Ham's business was concluded.

That's not the case though, with one more player still to make his move to E20.

It was reported on Tuesday that West Ham were trying to beat the deadline to sign Athletic Club left-back Adama Boiro.

But as the 11pm deadline passed last night and even into Wednesday morning, the Hammers are yet to announce his capture.

Or at least, they haven't explicitly named him as a new West Ham player.

That's because at 23:59pm on Tuesday night, West Ham posted one final message of deadline day to their official X account.

"The summer window might be done, but we're not," they wrote, and it was the accompanying picture that gave away the biggest clue.

Utilising an image of Jarrod Bowen pointing to the sky, in small font, West Ham have written the words: "Tomorrow, 1pm."

But, if West Ham were hoping to go for a big surprise reveal, that's now been ruined.

Why Athletic Club have spoilt West Ham's transfer plan

As is the modern world of football transfers, clubs love to tease their new signings on social media before unveiling them to supporters.

Clearly, this is what West Ham were going with in regards to Boiro.

But their reveal plan will have gone up in smoke now when they arise to see social media on Wednesday morning.

That's because at 0:25am on Wednesday morning UK time, Athletic Club confirmed via their X account that Boiro has signed for West Ham.

The Spaniards confirm that he's joined on a season-long loan deal, with the Hammers having the option to buy him permanently.

Athletic will also receive a fixed fee for the deal.
