West Ham have dropped a hint that manager Manuel Pellegrini could be about to dip into the free agent market.
Football London reports that the Hammers have only included 23 players in their 25-man squad list for the new Premier League season, which could be a hint that their transfer business is not yet finished.
With the transfer window now closed, clubs have been asked to submit their final squad lists, but West Ham’s stood out compared to most.
The Hammers have two spots still available after naming the likes of Declan Rice and Issa Diop as U-21 players.
Despite the transfer window closing, the Hammers could still look to add to their squad and they have not been afraid to look at free agents already this season.
Ryan Fredericks and Jack Wilshere joined the club as free transfers, while the Hammers were also heavily linked with a move to sign Yaya Toure before he was announced as an Olympiacos player.
