West Ham’s activity in the transfer window has been quite promising so far. Apart from the Scot Andy Irving who has returned to the UK from Klagenfurt and young winger Luis Guilherme who comes from Brazil, the club has already signed goalkeeper Wes Foderingham from Sheffield Utd, central defender Maximilian Kilman from Julen Lopetegui’s former club Wolves, German international forward Niclas Füllkrug from Borussia Dortmund, winger Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United and Argentinian international Guido Rodriguez, a holding midfielder. According to transfermarket.at West Ham has invested €126.8 million in new signings so far this summer, making the club one of the four biggest spenders in the world.

Niclas Füllkrug played in the Champions League final 2024 for BVB and also for Germany at the Euro 2024 where he scored two goals when coming on as a substitute against Scotland and Switzerland. He scored 40 goals in 90 games for Werder Bremen and last season 12 in thirty games for BVB.
But also Summerville is a prolific goalscorer: the Dutch scored a total of 21 goals in 49 games in all competitions for Leeds during 2023/24 and helped them finish third in the Championship table. He was subsequently named the league’s Player of the Season.
Guido Rodriguez comes from Betis Sevilla and is a member of the Argentinian squad that won the Copa America last month.
Well, that’s looking good, but I’m sure there’s more to come as the Hammers are still looking to further strengthen their squad.
On Saturday the last test before the start of the Premier League one week later (against Aston Villa) will take place at the London Stadium against Spanish outfit Celta Vigo.
Come on you Irons!
