With Aaron Wan-Bissaka expected to join the team shortly, West Ham is now considering their next big targets.

After weeks of negotiations with the Red Devils, the club is almost certain to finalise the signing of the highly-rated right-back from Manchester United.

His signature is anticipated to take place .settling his loyalty bonus with Manchester United, which is estimated to be worth £5.7 million, and the transfer fee, which is estimated to be worth £15 million, all financial matters seem to be resolved. He will also likely sign a five-year contract.

He has an appointment for a medical exam today, and the media team has been informed so they can get ready for the publicity.

The team wants to let go of Danny Ings and Maxwell Cornet. Both are relatively low on the ladder and may find it difficult to make the bench this year despite their high salaries, particularly the latter. They clearly find it tough to move on due to the wages, and Cornet’s ailments make him dangerous. However, a few clubs have expressed interest of some type. Among the English teams rumoured to be interested in Cornet are Everton, Forest, and former team Burnley. If other options have run out at the end of the transfer window, these teams may look into moving Cornet on loan.

It is reported that a few foreign teams, based primarily in France, are keeping an eye on the situation. Former teams Southampton and Bournemouth are also interested in Danny Ings, but West Ham hasn’t received a formal offer as of yet. It was speculated that Ings might have rejected Southampton at the beginning of the transfer window, so it’s unclear if he would even entertain a move. We might eventually give Ings a payoff to get him to move on.

The fates of James Ward-Prowse and Tomas Soucek are also uncertain. Alvarez is almost back to full fitness as well, so it’s difficult to predict where he will start on our team.
