As West Ham have begun their pre-season campaign, the club have brought in a number of new recruits.
Marko Arnautovic, Joe Hart, Pablo Zabaleta and Javier Hernandez have all completed moves to the Olympic Stadium this summer.
In the near future, West Ham will face a number of pre-season games in order to regain their fitness for the new season and to judge who they will keep and sell for the start of the Premier League.
If the Irons want to push on from their 11th place last season, it’s safe to say they need better players to make that possible. And with club legend Paolo Di Canio also saying he believes West Ham need a new midfielder and striker this summer, fans will certainly agree and are desperate to see new talent grace the claret and blue side.
Hammers should look towards Premier League proven players this summer, find out below who those English-born players are that could improve West Ham this summer.
Jack Wilshere
The central-midfielder played on-loan for Bournemouth and impressed for them. Managing to keep fit for the majority of the season was encouraging and West Ham may make a move for the 25-year-old.
Fabian Delph
Having only played the full 90 minutes in two premier league games last season, Delph may be ready to leave City. The midfielder has a good engine and also has an eye for goal.
Ross Barkley
The Everton man looks set to leave Goodison Park and with a number of clubs after his signature, it would certainly be a huge coup if the Hammers managed to persuade him to wear claret and blue. The midfielder is a fantastic talent with six goals and nine assists last season.
Chris Smalling
Centre-back Smalling could move from Old Trafford due to their new signing in Victor Lindelof. The defender would offer a solid stability to the Hammers back-line.
Danny Welbeck
Welbeck has faced a lot of injury troubles and those injuries could make him surplus to requirements for Arsenal. It maybe worth the gamble on a player who can score and he most certainly works very hard for the team, which the Hammers faithful love.
