# Free agents West Ham need to consider signing this summer

West Ham enter this summer’s transfer window knowing they need several additions to the first-team squad if they wish to compete at the right end of the table again next season.

A lot of the current squad simply aren’t up to scratch and expect them to be offloaded to add funds to Slaven Bilic’s transfer kitty this summer.

While the Hammers will look to spend the bulk of their budget on two or three headline names, they could opt to supplement the squad with some free agent additions.

The club recently welcomed Pablo Zabaleta to the club on a free transfer from Manchester City, proof that there is immense talent (and bargains) to be had on the free market.

Here are a number of soon-to-be free agents that the Hammers should consider signing this summer.
