Who West Ham will look to sign next after Walker-Peters as loan-to-buy lined up
West Ham are already eying up further business ahead of signing Kyle Walker-Peters.
The versatile defender looks set to link up with the Hammers after agreeing to a deal at the London Stadium this summer.
This deal will take Graham Potter’s transfer dealings up to two for the summer, but it is clear that the Englishman isn’t done there.
Now, the claret and blue outfit will look to wrap up a deal for the ex-England international before immediately turning their attentions elsewhere.

There is no doubt that the deal for the former Southampton ace is a positive deal for such an experienced head on a free transfer.
This will see the 28-year-old represent positive competition for the likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, the new man, El Hadji Malick Diouf, in East London.
Walker-Peters looks set to put pen to paper on a three-year deal after he undergoes a medical at Rush Green before signing over the weekend.
With that deal set to go through, Jack Rosser has reported (18 July) that a midfield overhaul will soon take priority at the London Stadium.
The Irons remain appreciative of Liverpool attacker Harvey Elliott, although his £40million valuation at Anfield remains a sticking point.
An initial loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the campaign is now something that the E20 club want to explore with the Premier League champions.

Having lost Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham for £55m, there is certainly a need for additional attacking depth in Potter’s side.
The English boss will be able to welcome Crysencio Summerville back after over six months absent, something that will represent a boost.
Alongside the Dutchman, the introduction of Elliott could prove to be superb after his stellar performances in the U21 European Championships for England.

A loan deal with an option to buy could prove to be a real coup, given the level of sides also showing an interest in the 22-year-old.
