# How could West Ham line-up to start the 2017/18 season?

At long last, West Ham have finally got the ball rolling in the summer transfer window.

Last summer, the recruitment was way off, bringing in 12 new faces and already a large handful of those players have already left the club and more could follow.

So far, just two players have officially joined the club in Pablo Zabaleta and Joe Hart but depending on when you read this there could be two more fresh faces wearing claret and blue.

West Ham are likely to make the move back to a back four next season looking at their summer business so far, a change up from the back three that they closed the season with in May.

With new additions on the horizon, here’s a look at how West Ham could lineup to open the season away at Manchester United on August 13th.
